ewiz: "There was a very good notice in there on 144 restricted shares. After reading that notice, I can likely assume that the recent 144 Type share giveaway did not comply with Federal law."
My bad. I misread this the first time - thought you were saying that the shares issued to Paterson were improper.
In my review, I saw no evidence that previous management ever issued Rule 144 shares that weren't properly restricted. Therefore, I'm back to thinking that Lovatt and Jenkins probably issued the shares listed on the disclosure. If so, it was in violation of SEC Rule 144.
I can't for the life of me figure out how they could have thought they could issue Reg D 504 shares without a Form D filing.
Again, if they didn't issue these 144 and 504 shares, they should issue a revised disclosure pronto with the dates of the issuances and further explanation. If they neglect to do so, my suspiscions would grow deeper.
