• The way you buy and sell fractional shares differs between brokerage firms that provide this service to their customers.
• You may not have voting rights if you own fractional shares. Your ability to exercise proxy voting will depend on how your brokerage firm’s fractional share investing program works. Some brokerage firms allow it, with special procedures, and some firms do not allow it at all. Ask your brokerage firm whether you will have any voting rights associated with fractional share purchases.

Taken together, we get the following conclusions

• Only whole shares are allowed by GME
• Fractional shares are happening between the individual and the financial entity.
