BBIGV
Vinco Ventures, Inc. Ex-Distribution When-Issued
stock NASDAQ

This is not entirely accurate. One day prior to the record date BBIG will trade on two markets, the "regular-way" market and the "when-issued" market. The "regular-way" market will trade under the ticker BBIG. The "when-issued" market will trade under the tickers BBIGV and TYDEV. If you buy or sell shares under under the ticker BBIG up to the distribution date, you will receive shares of TYDE. If you buy or sell shares under BBIGV you are only buying or selling the portion of the company that remains after the spin-off/distribution date. If you buy or sell shares under the TYDEV ticker you are only buying or selling the portion of the company that will be Cryptide.
Therfore, if you want shares of TYDE, but do not want what remains of Vinco Ventures after the distribution date, you may sell your shares under the ticker BBIGV.
All of this is explained in the section "Trading Between Record Date and Distribution Date" in the SEC filing for the [letter from Vinco Ventures](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001892492/000149315222002210/ex99-1.htm)
I should note, borrowers must deliver shares of TYDE or cash to the lenders who they borrowed shares from. Borrowers have the following options:
1. Buy shares under the ticker BBIG prior to the distribution date.
2. Buy shares of TYDE via the ticker TYDEV before the distribution date.
3. Buy shares of TYDE on the distribution date.
4. Pay cash, equivalent to the number of shares of TYDE the lenders would have received, to their lenders on the distribution date.
Borrowers are hoping that those who receive TYDE immediately sell it on the distribution date. This is the cheapest option for them, as they can borrow the shares afterwards a d short the stock to reduce their losses. All we have to do is hold our TYDE shares until the distribution date!
Don't believe this is accurate. Look for the tickers BBIGV and TYDEV on May 17th, the day before the record date.

The "when-issued" market are tickers BBIGV and TYDEV. BBIGV is what will remain of Vinco Ventures after the spin-off. TYDEV is portion of Vinco Ventures that will be given to Cryptide (TYDE) holders.
