pink slips and big sellers, page-20

Not sure where you guys come up with these ideas. All shares are included in the number of outstanding shares a company has. Stocks in the U.S. sometimes move back and forth from the pink sheets to the Amex or the Nasdaq or the Nyse depending on their value. A company issues common shares period. They are all the same value no matter what exchange they are traded on or what country you are in. If I live in the U.S. and move to Germany and transfer my shares to a broker there they are worth exactly the same. It is AZZ's decision to remain on the pink sheets. They could move to the Amex any time they wanted but it costs a lot of money. If/when the stock ever reaches and maintains a $1.00 share price they can, if they choose, move to the Nasdaq. Again, this costs a lot more money. It is more prestigious to be on any of the other exchanges but the shares count all the same.
