The Offer that is a specific sum worth of fractional shares can be claimed by placing a market order on the Lightyear app to buy the chosen fractional share.

- Standard Lightyear fees apply to the Offer. For more details on pricing, please refer to Terms of Service and here: https://lightyear.com/pricing.
