The information previously released in regard to the recent symbol change has inadvertently created concern that the stock is not available for trading or might not be available for trading in the near future. The stock's trading has only been confused by the ticker change, but has remained tradable. It is merely a matter of using the appropriate trading symbol, which at this time is NMKTE.OB.
