However, stranger things have happened and maybe Citigroup can get this through the SEC today and still price tonight.
Additionally, B. Riley FBR has been added as an underwriter. This is a nice cover for B. Riley and they’ll certainly be able to help out with rounding up a minimum of 350 round lot shareholders needed to comply with a NYSE listing.
