I was reading another CPRK message board and got the following information from there:
1. The float has increased by 13% to 373.5M shares. That means there is an additional 40M shares of CPRK stock available for trading. I know that restricted shares were supposed to start coming off restriction around this time, so I am pretty sure that's what this is. The O/S and A/S remain the same.
2. Some of the electrical equipment they were waiting for came in wrong and had to be sent back. That should delay the soft start by 2-3 weeks. I don't know what the equipment was. The other post said it had to be returned to Japan. I assume that they are shipping the equipment by boat, so unless this process started several weeks ago, it will take longer than 2-3 weeks to ship new equipment here from Japan. It takes 30 days on a boat to get here from China. So my best guess at this time is that a soft start won't happen until mid to late January.
Given that there is a 13% increase in the float AND that there has been a delay in the soft start, I am pleased with the fact that the share price has remained pretty flat and not taken a nose-dive.
