The BOD of Aurus approved the deal at .55/share, and the share dividend is to be included in the count, so the deal cannot be completed until the dividend distribution takes place.
Fairross inherited the clients of Select American, but because they were moving, and because of legal complications with many of their clients, they could not execute the dividend distribution for AURC in a timely fashion, so AURC switched to a different transfer agent as stated in their last PR. This was necessary in order to have the buyout agreement signed, sealed and delivered as quickly as possible.
I expect to see the dividend posted to my account in 3-5 business days, max, if not sooner. News of the dividend distribution should push the pps into the mid- to high teens
overnight, never to return to current levels.
