Tacking

Definition:

The treatment of additional shares (e.g., those received in a Stock Split) whereby the additional shares are deemed to be acquired at the same time as the original shares. Rule 144 permits certain transferees to “tack” the holding period of the seller to the buyer’s holding period.
