In reply to a post by Speedchaser:

My main question to him was if I held shares in a nominee trading account did that count. He really didn't have a clue I don't think. But after some explanation to him of what a nominee account is (advising him that my account would give me voting rights ) he stated that I would be eligible for these deals.

But nominee accounts (what nearly everyone has) do not count.
