We don't even know if its still 100 shares needed.
I've asked on twitter as no replies to my emails. See more...

I think I just replied to your Tweet and followed you!
I have 100 shares and renewed my membership a couple of months ago, so do I do nothing or do I need to buy the new shares? It's so confusing!
This is from the Shareholders website:
My shares were worth 3.46 euros before the announcement, will my holding lose value?
The proposal allows shareholders to preserve economic value of their holding
The example below demonstrates how to preserve your economic value but is one of many options you have as a shareholder. You have time to review all your investment options as the transaction will occur in the first half of 2015.
If you want to guarantee the full value of shares at their pre-announcement share price, you would participate fully in the rights offering and then sell all your shares into the mandatory tender offer.
•Pre-announcement: 1 share at €3.46
•Post transaction: 1 existing share: to be sold at €1.25 (i.e. TERP) to TWDC in mandatory tender offer + 9 new shares: subscribed at €1.00 per share through full participation in the rights offering. Then sell all nine new shares at €1.25 to TWDC in the mandatory tender and realize €2.25 net value
= €1.25 + €2.25 = €3.50 i.e. slightly above pre announcement value
You have the flexibility to pursue a range of options—among them, to fully realize the value of your shares at their pre-announcement share price; to maintain your ownership percentage; or to make no new investment, realize any value from selling your subscription rights, and hold or sell your shares.
