I've read that Kraken and Bitfinex are crediting depositors with BCC amounts equal to the BTC amount already deposited in their exchanges by Aug 1.

Do i understand correctly that for example i had 1 BTC deposited, this means they would also credit me with 1 BCC?

Is it right to assume that BCC value wont be far from BTC? Worrying because it seems too easy that i'll be given free and easy money. Will this mean BTC price is going down?
