What happens to shares when a company is delisted from an exchange?

If an investor owns a stock that has been delisted from an exchange and is now quoted on OTC Link® ATS, nothing has changed with the shares themselves. Investors are still the beneficial owner of the stock and may trade it through the broker-dealer of their choice, but should check with their broker-dealer to make certain that they provide services in off-exchange traded securities. If not, investors will need to identify a broker-dealer that does provide services in these securities and is a FINRA member and SEC-registered. Paragraph 4

The Pink Sheets are different from the OTCBB. Companies on the Pink Sheets are not required to meet minimum requirements or file with the SEC. So-named because they were actually printed on pink paper, the Pink Sheets started out as a daily quote service provided by the National Quotation Bureau. Typically, companies are on the Pink Sheets because either they are too small to be listed on a national exchange or they do not wish to make their budgets and accounting statements public. To avoid having to file with the SEC, some large foreign companies such as Nestle S.A. have penetrated the American securities markets through the Pink Sheets. Companies listed on the Pink Sheets are difficult to analyze because it is tough to obtain accurate information about them. The companies on the Pink Sheets are usually penny stocks and are often targets of price manipulation. They should only be purchased with extreme caution.
