I thought I found a way to get my shares of ORRV unrestricted at Etrade, but then after I sent in what I had I got the following email request, putting me back to square one.

I understand E*TRADE Securities charges a $150.00 fee to research the restriction. This fee will be charged to my E*TRADE Securities
account at the time the research begins.>>

So no matter what, with or without the letter, it will cost $150 to reserach the company and lift the restriction. And I asked. this is $150 for EACH acccount, and I own it in 5 accounts. It's just not worth it at today's prices. Maybe if it goes up in value.

ANyway, the $150 at Etrade is firm, and even on their form, as shown above. FYI.
