Vos Corp had 8,000 shares of Waterloo (2% of the outstanding shares) and had purchased them in 2006 for 68,400. The fair value of waterloo shares was $16.00 per share on April 1. The property dividend was distributed April 21 when the fair value of the waterloo shares was $ 18.50. The waterloo shares stayed at a fair value of $ 18.50
