I tried to sell it immediately but was not able to do so because the App required that I had to hold it for at least 3 trading days before I could sell it. On 2/19, I was notified by the App that the UBX share "has settled and can now be traded". I immediately sold it for $7.79. Now I no longer have any share of UBX. for a role as Other.
