I agree that the most logical reason for RO to have been instructed to go mum on finra is that the approval has been given.
Now, if it has been given, I suspect the company is talking with accountants to see how long it will take to get the filing ready to be released with the new name incorporated. Once they get that date, they will pick the ticker change date.
FINRA will give notice the day before on the public list, and the pr from the company will follow, and then the filing will drop and show just what we've been buying.
Then the other plates will come....
