I just spoke to the transfer agent Don Madallon. He does not have any new shares to issue nor will there be new shares to be issued.
It's in the hands of the DTC - Depository Trust Companies. They need to settle all the Shares before the Symbol Change is Complete.
I spoke to Ameritrade and they first told me they were waiting for the shares from the Transfer Agent and I called them back and relayed the info I found.
Ameritrade now states that the DTC has provided a Swing Date of 8/14/06. So the 3 day rule is in effect and we should be able to trade them on Monday.
