No relisting is possible until a full and proper shareholder meeting has been held in accordance with the enterprise's articles of incorporation. This rule pertains to any listing on either NASDAQ or NYSE. Consequently, release must occur before any relisting can go forward because the puppet boards appointed during conservatorship do not serve the interests of shareholders but only those of government.
I expect that we will see an announcement of a provisional release, shortly, timed with the selection of an Acting FHFA Director and the appointment of a consultant group to guide the process of naming a reconfigured board structure to be voted on by shareholder proxy. I further expect that the proxy will include several crucial matters including lifting the constraints on executive pay and a shareholder vote on accepting a transfer of all court-assigned penalties due litigating shareholders back onto the enterprises, themselves, as a condition of release.
