The issuer of the IRS form 1099-B does not have the cost basis information or is not required to disclose the information. You will have to determine your cost basis from your personal records or sales tickets.
Were you issued the sale of rights by shareholder services because you were already a stockholder? Were the sale of rights purchased? Please clarify.
If you were already a shareholder and the sale of rights were issued to you, your cost basis in the rights would be some allocation of your cost basis in the actual share over that same share and that one right.
As an example, you paid $50 for one share of stock and shareholder services issued one right to you. Your $50 cost basis should now be allocated over the cost of the one share of stock as well as the one right.
