It is that simple.
The problem lies between Fidelity Clearing and the TA.
It's actually bit strange as my experience with Fidelity has been that it's the most OTC accommodative of all the discount brokerages with respect to trading ability, fronted shares immediately on symbol changes, etc. I have experience with most of the rest with the exception of TDA, and, none have been better with it all.
IMO though, Fidelity is doing their clients a favor. All the shares will be is a ubiquitous CUSIP # followed by the number of shares that, likely will sit there until you pay the brokerage or, they scrub them from the account for free. Anyone caring about the dividend is slightly nuts, OTC restricted stock dividends never are anything at all. Then again, I guess HNSS is 'different'.
The real issues are about getting the actual HNSS pps up, if someone wants free trading INAR shares, buy them, their pps is dirt cheap as well.
Anyone know where HNSS is presently physically located at?
