For publicly traded stock, the value of stock held prior to the acquisition is the market price. Do not use fair market value if closing is more than 45 days out.

Subject: Question re: Previously Acquired Voting Securities
Kate,
I wanted to confirm the change in valuation of previously acquired voting securities, based on this blog post:
The blog post says, “For publicly traded voting securities, the value of stock held prior to the acquisition will be the "market price." 16 C.F.R. 801.13(a)(2)(i).” It doesn’t say to fall back on FMV if that MP is not determined because closing is more than 45 days out. Is that correct? No matter what, use market price?
Thanks so much!
