The stock is now suspended and will be delisted; no further trading on NYSE. Shareholders should have received or will receive the $19.00 cash consideration. Monitor for any subsequent deregistration filings (Form 15) and potential stub trading on OTC markets, though the cash-out structure makes that unlikely.
