Thomas,

That depends on what has happened in terms of shares.  If they simply  
gave you some shares in the new company, the "Add shares" should work.   
If they traded some shares in the old company for some new shares, then  
"Remove shares" and "Add shares."   If you don't think those will work  
for you, then please provide more details.

The only potential issue I see if whether or not the new shares  
actually have a zero cost basis or not.   I would expect that, so the  
above would work.  If for some reason that is not the case, then  
perhaps a combination of selling old shares and buying new would work.
