Assumptions..............Well, I am not sure who is right on this one...
You are choosing to assume that what VIQ is indicating is the correct version...I have chosen the other version - as I believe that VIQ's version is "spin" for their possible neglect on this one.
You may be correct - it may have been the fault of the exchange...but I think it is the other way around...I believe that it is highly likely that the exchange sent out, as they would likely do for everyone, there annual fee invoices or notices or whatever they send out and this got lost, shuffled or put on the do not pay until 30 or 60 day pile in the accounting department by some VIQ staffer...the exchange may have a pay within ? number of days that is shorter than what companies usually pay within - and my guess is that it got missed.
I would also assume that there IS a reasonable follow up notice plan by the exchange - that they do not just pull listings "all of a sudden" because there could be so many legal issues triggered, etc.
Part of my take on this relates to how casually VIQ appeared to me to take this yesterday...If it were me, I would have issued an immediate, clear press release within the first 10 - 30 minutes of trading to clarify that we, V.I.Q. did not issue the halt and that we are looking into it with the exchange as we speak - which they did not do - that was critical error number one - upon finding out the reason as they likely would have in the very first phone call to the exchange they made, I would have issued press release number two - indicating the full reason for the halt - and then stated my position that I did not agree - which again, we all know they did not - to me, that was critical mistake number two - then I would request / demand - possibly through my counsel, that if some fault were to belong to the exchange as you seem to indicate, that a full and clear explanation / apology would be put in writing and released by the exchange.
But heh...that is just me and my version or opinion...and that is why we have these bullboards - to exchange ideas and opinions...and clearly everyone now has mine in spades....I wish I could side with the company on this one - but I do not...opinions anyone ???
Does not mean I am still not long on VIQ though...
