How can I figure out the cost basis for the shares of DLM that I received from the Heinz spin-off in December 2002?
If you received DLM shares in the spin-off from Heinz, please use the cost basis worksheet which is available in either Excel format or PDF format. Note: The tax consequences of the Del Monte/Heinz transaction are described in detail in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, dated November 19, 2002, provided to both Heinz Shareholders and Del Monte Shareholders, in the section entitled, “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Spin-Off and the Merger.” In addition, to your review of that section, we strongly recommend that you consult with your tax advisor and/or accountant in regard to the tax consequences of the transaction that may be applicable to your personal situation. Because this was a Heinz spin-off, we also recommend that you visit the Heinz website and www.heinz.com for additional tax-related information. You may also contact Heinz Investor Relations at 412-456-6020.
