If the shares are not part of a retirement plan then you can ask your broker to send them to you. What will happen (and I didn't know this) is that your broker first sends them to the transfer agent because there is only one restricted certificate with everyone's shares together. That is why they charge you $95 because the transfer agent charges them the fee. Once they get the restricted shares back they will send them to you. You can then send them to the transfer agent again yourself with $35 and a form that I listed a week or two ago on IHub and they will send a tradeable certificate to you. You will then send the tradeable certificate to your broker and they will deposit it into your account for trading.

You have already passed the restricted holding period so your broker can do all this. If they say they can't then you need to push them to contact the transfer agent themselves and get back to you since they don't know what they are talking about.

The website to the transfer agent is transferonline.com.
