RE: Closing date for sale of sharesThere should be no need to call your broker, unless you hold your share certificates. If you do not, then your shares are registered under your broker's name, so the funds will be transferred directly into your account(s).
Why is it still trading? Somebody asked Norbert at the meeting and he didn't know whether they would be tradable, but asked the same question. Perhaps some are willing to give up 1/2 a cent to be certain of their money. The deal is subject to court approval, so there is still some chance (very minimal, IMO) that the deal will not stand. I believe the court hearing happened yesterday (correct?) and nothing has come across the newswires as yet.
