Capital Gains status after acquisition
I have owned stock in VMWare for over 2 years. Broadcom is acquiring VMWare. When (and if) that is complete, I will have an option to either sell the VMWare stock at a set price or have it converted to Broadcom shares at a rate of 0.252 per share. My question is, if I take the share conversion and then sell, would they still be considered long-term gains, or does that clock reset as they are new shares?
