I talked to my local Scottrade rep and was told that all he could see on the computer was that the shares were restricted and didn't see anything that said that the restriction was lifted. He suggested I talk to the company. I emailed them a couple of days ago and have heard nothing yet.
I was told by Etrade that they cannot guarantee the conversion rate so I need to talk with the TA directly. I wrote them yesterday and haven't heard back as of this morning, I'm going to call today sometime but I get the feeling it will be a dead end, seems more like a stalling tactic to me. If it goes much further I'm going to have a lawyer write a letter and see if I can get any action that way.
