Did you vote yet. I voted against it, not that it matters much, 2900 shares doesn't really add up, except maybe send them a message. Shareholders are tired of dilution
The TSXV requires all new applicants to deposit securities into escrow before listing on the exchange. They are then released in predetermined blocks over time.
I believe the NASDAQ uplisting has qualified them to release the remainder early (although they will still trade on the TSXV as well). This may be related to some DTC requirement.
