Because there seems to be so much conflicting information about this "gift distribution," perhaps one or more shareholders should contact Kerry at ir@pvefl.com and ask her to clarify if the Series C Preferred Share certificates will be mailed directly to shareholder addresses or to brokers -- and post her answer on this forum.
It would seem that the company would be the authoritative source of how the certificates will be distributed.
If the company is truly transparent as it repetitively claims, it would certainly be willing to release such information.
It's unfortunate that the company restricts and/or blocks public access to sections of its website that contain information posted by its Investor Relations representative.
