Mindpix Corp. (fka MPIX)

It's a technical rule relating to broker/dealers making quotes in non-NASDAQ OTC stocks - like pink sheet stocks. It also explains quite clearly - if you're a securities lawyer - why MPIX will never trade in any market other than in the greys ever again.

SEC Rule 15c2-11 governs the submission and publication of quotations by brokers and dealers for certain non-Nasdaq over-the-counter equity securities. Specifically, the rule applies to a broker/dealer's initiation or resumption of quotations for such securities in any interdealer quotation medium, including the NASD's OTC Bulletin Board" and National Quotation Bureau, Inc.'s "Pink Sheets" ("pink sheets"). Pursuant to the rule, brokers and dealers are required to review and maintain specified information about the issuer of the security before publishing a quotation for that security...

An SEC trading suspension should alert the broker/dealer to the possibility that information in its possession concerning the issuer may no longer be current or accurate. The broker/dealer must be particularly cautious when seeking to reinstate quotations following an SEC trading suspension. The member must obtain a copy of the Commission trading suspension order or the Commission release announcing the trading suspension. A broker/dealer should, at a minimum, receive assurances or additional information with respect to matters cited in the suspension order or with respect to other matters affecting the broker/dealer's reasonable belief as to the accuracy of the information. Reliance on new information or assurances from prior sources of information in these circumstances, however, requires caution. In exceptional cases, where the source is unable to provide reasonable assurances about the reliability of the information, consultation with an independent accountant or attorney may be warranted. All information gathered in the broker/dealer's investigation of the issues must accompany the Form 211 application.
