Your Buyback opinion is wrong.
"On October 30th, 2017 the Board approved a stock buy-back program to acquire shares in the open market up to .01 per share under the following black out guidelines," where the buyback is only to assist in the uplisting, and not buying back shares over the course of several months," which will not be pre-announced, and have the bid price close at .01/share for 1-trading day during this 30-day uplisting period.
If the ask goes to .0005 with higher volume, one may guess the 30-day uplisting period has begun.
