Sylvia, assuming youre a Canadian too, look for the securities commission in your province or even better the securities ombudsman. Send them a letter stating you just want to sell your shares and how unfair it is to current holders to ban them from doing so. If they agree, which they should, they will send a letter to youre brokerage/account (give them that info) and then call your broker and reference that letter saying you have the right to sell. They have to put the order in manually.
