Following two rounds of comments, the Company has provided additional requested information and continues working through the FINRA corporate action process.
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Under FINRA Rule 6490, when an OTC company requests a corporate action, FINRA reviews the request to ensure it complies with SEC rules and doesn't pose a risk of fraud to investors. A clean submission usually sails through in 10 to 14 days with zero or minimal comments. Now a round one of FINRA questions is very common. FINRA might ask for clarification on the cap table, want to see specific shareholder agreements, or ask for details on a recent merger/acquisition. However 2 rounds of comments (Where ECOX is now) means the company responded to the first set of questions, and FINRA still wasn't satisfied, or the first response opened up a new can of worms. $Fact Now to be clear having two rounds of comments doesn't necessarily mean the corporate action is doomed, but it does mean it is facing heavy scrutiny. Especially in the microcap/OTC space, multiple rounds of FINRA comments usually stem from unclear ownership or toxic convertible debt that FINRA wants untangled. FINRA does deep background checks. If anyone involved (officers, large shareholders) has a regulatory history, FINRA will drill down. Sometimes companies submit hasty paperwork, forcing FINRA to act as an editor. At this stage, ECOX is in a holding pattern because they have submitted the additional requested information, the ball is currently in FINRA's court. FINRA has no strict legal deadline to approve it & they will take as long as they feel is necessary to protect investors.

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 What they are attempting & hoping for all to believe... We didn't get this right on the first or second try, but we have given FINRA what they asked for this time. We are waiting on them. This shifts the perceived blame for the delay from the company to the regulatory body.
.and continues working through the FINRA corporate action process. While timing remains subject to the normal review process...
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔Again there hope, Stop asking us when this will be done. We do not control the timeline, and FINRA moves at its own pace. This is standard legal boilerplate designed to manage shareholder expectations and prevent lawsuits if the process drags on for another few months.
management believes the matter is progressing constructively toward completion
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Attempting to keep the faith, ]FINRA hasn't outright denied our request. The word $constructively is the key here. It implies a dialogue. FINRA is asking for things, ECOX is providing them, and the door remains open.
