Amarantus Bioscience Holdings Inc (AMBS)

Received the following from Scottrade today about the ongoing CUSIP share change out:

"Amarantus Biosciences Inc (AMBS) is processing a 1 for 1 CUSIP change on their outstanding shares. This is a mandatory corporate action that affects all shareholders. Shareholders will retain the same number of company shares after the change is completed.

A CUSIP is an identification number assigned to all stocks and registered bonds. The Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures (CUSIP) oversees the entire CUSIP system. This system is used in the U.S. and Canada. Foreign securities have a similar number called the "CINS number".

Although the company name and trading symbol are remaining the same, this involves actually exchanging the old AMBS shares for new ones. At this time, we do not have an anticipated delivery date for the new shares. Scottrade will not post the new shares to client accounts until they are actually received. Until that time, existing positions will display with the symbol AMBS## and will not display share price updates.

Scottrade clients will not be able to sell their new shares until they are actually received. Your patience in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for choosing Scottrade. Please let us know if we may be of further assistance."

Looks like the physical exchange of old shares to new shares may be ongoing into 2013.

Very, very long AMBS
