Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.
Effective May 19, 2017, the Company’s shares were listed for trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol “LSL”.
Until August 5, 2014, the Company’s common stock was quoted on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the Symbol “LSL” and on occasion traded by appointment on the Grey Market under the Symbol "LBSV". Prior to October 15, 2012, the Company’s shares were traded on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”).
On October 5, 2012, Liberty Silver Corp. was named in an Order of Suspension of Trading (the “Order”) from the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to the Order, trading in the Company’s securities was suspended from October 5, 2012 through October 18, 2012. Furthermore, effective October 11, 2012, the Company had its stock quotation under the symbol “LBSV” removed from the OTC Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”) as it became ineligible for quotation on OTCBB due to quoting inactivity under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-11. The Company continues to consider its circumstances and review the requirements necessary to permit its stock to resume trading on the OTCBB or a stock exchange in the United States and, in due course, will determine the most appropriate course of action. There is no assurance as to when or whether the Company’s stock will resume trading in the United States.
On October 12, 2012, the Ontario Securities Commission issued a cease trade order providing that trading in the securities of Liberty Silver Corp. (excepting issuances from treasury) shall cease until 11:59 pm EST on October 18, 2012 (the “OSC Order”). The OSC Order was effective for the same time frame as the Order of Suspension of Trading imposed by the SEC. Trading in the Company’s shares on the TSX in Canada resumed on October 22, 2012.
On July 2, 2014, the Company announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) had decided to delist the Company’s common shares effective the close of business on August 5, 2014 as a result of the failure by the Company to meet the continued listing requirements of the TSX. The Company appealed that decision, and on August 11, 2014, it was announced that the Appeals Committee of the TSX determined that the Company’s shares would not be relisted.
The quotations set forth below reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, markdown or commission and may not represent actual transactions. As a result of the Company’s common stock being delisted from the TSX and the OTCBB, there is no trading information available for almost three years. The high and low closing prices of the Company’s common stock on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the OTC Bulletin Board or the Grey Market for the periods indicated below are as follows:
