This is my first post here, I read it everyday since buying a small amount of shares last June. I don't own any other shares just wanted to support and be part of the cannabis future and chose this share mainly for my faith in AK. Anyway I'm only posting now because of an email i received yesterday from IG share trading platform, i have been waiting for someone else to post this but no one has.

I have spoken with them and it seems this is exactly as it appears, but they were very vague about what will happen as we are in trading halt and how they will sell them on May 24th, and for some unknown reason I am unable to transfer them to another trader. I want to keep them, doesn't seem i have a choice.
