No break given thats not what i said.

A convertible security that is subject to the locate requirement may qualify for an exception. Rule 203(b)(2)(ii) provides an exception from the uniform locate requirement for situations in which a broker-dealer effects a sale on behalf of a customer that is deemed to “own” the security although, through no fault of the customer or the broker-dealer, it is not reasonably expected that the security will be in the physical possession or control of the broker-dealer by the settlement date. The Adopting Release states that such circumstances could include the situation where a convertible security, option, or warrant has been tendered for conversion or exchange, but the underlying security is not reasonably expected to be received by the settlement date. (69 FR at 48015). In such situation, delivery should be made on the sale as soon as all restrictions on delivery have been removed, and in any event within 35 days after trade date. If delivery is not made within 35 days after the trade date, the broker-dealer that sold on behalf of the person must either borrow securities or close out the open position by purchasing securities of like kind and quantity.
