Still trying to make sense of this... I think this means they're bracing for big trading. Maybe going to list on a US exchange instead of pink sheets?

Will we have to do anything with are current stocks if they change to the US exchange or we just hang on to what we got?

until some proof of eesu life is revealed, we have no idea if this or other zmc moves aren't just rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.

EESlicstre, I have absolutely no clue, but from my viewpoint it would be stealing if something NEEDED to be done without we being very clearly informed in very good time. And then reminded.

Took a look at that website - don't see much else in that "Market Access Program" that I recognize. Hmm.

GRIZZ - help!

Still a 10

Trading seems unusually active!!??

This look to me IC is tiring of having to deal with someone or some group with inside information trading prior Zenn's official announcements. Maybe this is a new way to announce something without Zenn being criticized. The question is whether the announce is good new or bad news for Zenn.

I am shorting oil as a safe play.

Yes, but does that count people who own their shares through a broker?

At least they're not napping 100% of the time between comments on EEStor.

That's the best Zenn can do this week? It's pretty lame. There is a major question hanging over the company with a deadline less than a week away, and he's looking for 'blue sky' investors?

STANDARD AND POOR REALLY FEELS "COMFORTABLE"-ESPECIALLY SINCE IT WAS THOSE GUYS THAT GAVE HIGH RATINGS FOR THOSE BAD PAPERS THAT GAVE THE WORLD ECONOMY FAULTS - ONE OF THEM HERE - Launches High Yield Dividend Aristocrats -

Or, maybe someone's thinking positively that if the reveal is really about to happen, meeting the "blue sky" exemption is a timely and good idea, as otherwise brokers in many U.S. states would apparently still be precluded from recommending the stock to their clients.

The converse wouldn't make strategic sense for Zenn: If there was a concern that the reveal ISN'T about to happen, one seemingly would avoid a "blue sky exemption," as presumably would open the door for U.S. brokers to begin recommending that their clients SHORT the stock.

So this would all seem like good news (for EEStor optimists, not pessimists):

FYI:

http://www.tmx.com/en/listings/products_service...

Partial excerpt of text from above link:

Obtaining an exemption from blue sky laws is a complex process - one that is unique to each business. The information provided here should serve solely as a general guide to assist in understanding that process. No action should be initiated without obtaining professional advice from qualified legal, accounting and financial advisors.

What are state blue sky laws?

Blue sky laws are state or jurisdictional laws in the U.S. that regulate the offering and sale of securities in order to protect the public investors from fraud. These laws vary among states. States may require securities to be registered at the state level or to have an available exemption from registration. Without compliance with, or exemption from, blue sky laws, the statutes can prevent brokers from soliciting interest in your company from their clients.

What is “manual exemption”?

The majority of the U.S. states/jurisdictions have written into their statutes a provision for a “manual exemption” that may exempt a company from state registration if it is covered in a “Recognized Securities Manual” such as Standard & Poor’s (S&P) Corporation Records.

Looks like it's a paid service (free "trial")?

Any freebie to get same info?

note that the 6500 shareholders figure is as at MARCH 2009. That's before permittivity... I wonder what that figure is now?

Come now Villars. I'm used to my news posts being ignored for ones with fancier topic titles, but not out right deletion. ;)

Do you mean now as in after December 31st?

Wasn't me who deleted your post.

It's good idea though next time I want to steal all the glory. ;-)

Here's how the Toronto Stock Exchange (www.tmx.com) describes the purpose of the S&P program. Note the interesting use of the word "before:"

S&P Market Access Company Profiles

To promote a public company in the US requires the proper federal and state-level law compliance or exemption.

S&P Market Access is a popular service for Canadian companies because it can provide qualifying issuers with state level exemptions required before promotion of securities in the US.

As part of the S&P Market Access Program a company profile is published and disseminated to over 200,000 financial professionals, compliance officers, fund managers, registered representatives and research analysts.
