Just a point of clarification for all.
Even if a pink sheet company fails to meet the requirements by the deadline date, that company can still become current and have their status reinstated or changed to reflect the fact that they have become pink sheet current.
At that point, their shares would then be eligible to have any and all trading restrictions lifted.
This IS NOT a one time, static policy and once a company is placed on the restricted list, it in no way means that they will stay there forever.
Companies that meet the requirements now, could fall back and be placed on the restricted list in the future, just as companies that would not meet the requirements now can meet them in the future and be reconsidered to be placed back on full trading status.
