WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN A SECURITY IS “CHILLED” AT DTC?

DTC may at times place temporary or permanent restrictions on certain transactions, such as deposits or withdrawals of certificates. Such a restriction is known as a chill. For example, DTC may impose a temporary chill that restricts book-entry movement of securities, effectively closing the books and stabilizing existing positions until a merger or other reorganization has been completed.

Chills are also placed when, among other things, regulators take certain actions, or when there are questions about an issuer’s compliance with applicable law.

Here is a link with information about DTCC chills and DTCC Global Locks. At the bottom of the page are links to current Chills and Global Locks. I don't find anything about the CTs in either list.
Perhaps your broker has an old list? Or is sitting on his shoulders.
