I then rang Elan in Dublin, but didn't expect much attention, as I am a tiny s/h in a billion dollar business.
A nice man rang me back!
The scheme now must return to the High Court for approval. That will happen in December, subject to court dates/diaries. There is no official date yet.
Trading of "old" Elan shares will cease around that date.
If I do nothing, then I, or the share custodian, will receive a euro cheque for USD 6.25 per share, and a fractional share in New Perrigo for each "old" Elan share that I own.
If I don't want to be a s/h of New Perrigo, I have about 2 weeks to sell original shares on ISE.
