Cost Basis Information
The merger between Puget Energy and Puget Holdings on Feb. 6, 2009 converted all common stock into a right to receive a cash payment. As a result, it is a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Generally, shareholders will need to tabulate their cost basis in order to report a capital gain or loss on their federal income tax return.
Wells Fargo Shareowner Services will mail all former common shareholders a Form 1099 DIV, as well as a Form 1099-B for the merger consideration payment to their address of record. Shareholders can determine cost basis information by referencing their annual fourth quarter statements. It is recommended that a tax advisor be consulted for help in this matter.
Although neither Puget Energy, nor Wells Fargo can provide actual cost basis, historical dividend and stock-price information can be found at the following link:
