What do I need to do for 401k stock rolled over to a taxable account for NUA treatment in Sept 2016? (I haven't sold any yet.)

I rolled over my company highly-appreciated preferred shares from my tax-deferred company account to my (non-retirement) taxable brokerage account in Sept 2016 to take advantage of NUA treatment.  I have not sold any shares yet.  My understanding is that the cost basis was reset when I moved them, and that I have should leave them there for at least one year to be able to qualify for long-term capital gains taxation.  Does this sound right to you?  Is there anything I have to report in the 2016 taxes?
