You absolutely do NOT have to cancel shares and re-issue new shares to relist or get listed on a higher exchange. You simply meet the requirements of that exchange and then file the appropriate application form to get listed on that exchange with your current shares. It might be a form SEC 15c-211 or something like that.
Pink Sheets can go to NASD or AMEX without cancelling shares.
And another thing, why would over 50 different funds and institutions (i.e. Citigroup, Oppenheimer, etc.) be buying and holding common stock of a BK company in the pennies if they thought their shares were gonna get cancelled???
I don't see any other pink BK getting bought up by funds and 'tutes like this one.
as COWBOY would say: "let me make it easy for ya!"
all these funds--ie, particularly Heartland in my home town--are buying this stock like crazy! they are not buying for a losing cause! they believe this is best of breed back, and on the NYSE one day!
We r in chapter 11 reorganization. When assets are greater than liabilities there is typically a fiduciary duty by the bk judge to uphold shareholder value. When the opposite is true, commons suffer a different fate. You must also take into aacount that only about half of this company is in chapter 11 - not the entire company. That's a quick answer to ur question. Hope it helps.
Cemjq sentiment = strong strong buy
I have been in since .10 and keep accumulating shares. Have not sold one.
