Greetings Group Members and CMKX Shareholders,
I would like to take a moment to extend a very big thank you to Ms. Mair Murphy of the reorg department at Raymond James & Associates, Inc. This broker not only ordered certificates for all of their clients accounts, they also typed up a cover page for every account and sent copies of everything to the CMKM Taskforce to be entered into our system. We received the first of three batches of certificates from this broker today. We would like to invite all the other brokerage houses to follow this example.
Please do not read into this anything more that what I am telling you. We received copies of a number of certs made out to the shareholders and we have now entered them into our system. We followed up with a call to the clerk that was processing these certs to confirm that the remaining certs for account holders at Raymond James will be coming to us soon.
I have been advised that we are receiving a number of calls from shareholders wanting to know why there is a one digit difference between the number of the certificate (in red) and the small number (in black) that is in the bottom right hand corner of the certificate just outside the border. Normally these numbers match. We have talked to the transfer agent today and inquired about this difference that is showing up on a few certificates. Helen Bagley informed us that having both numbers on the certs is a check and balance system. This number has occasionally differred by one digit on a few occasions. The transfer agent says these errors are usually caught and corrected immediately. She told us to alert the shareholders that this does not affect the validity of their certificate.
I have been advised of numerous rumors regarding settlements. I have no information that confirms the truth of any of the rumors. As always, I am hopeful there are discussions ongoing about such matters, but I am not being included in the discussions if they are in fact taking place.
We will be keeping a skeleton crew around throughout the holidays. Most calls shortly will be going to voice mail. We will be checking our messages on a regular basis and will return all calls which require an answer. I have no plans to leave town and we expect to keep up with our data entry as the faxes and mail-ins come to the office.
Onward,
Bill
