(This should not have happened because it also requires PRC government approval, but I want to see what they are doing and how they are going about their restructuring).  I just followed-up and will advise if/when I hear anything on that.

It should be their responsibility to handle most of this and since our management fees are paying for in-house counsel (and any outside counsel they use) I want to make sure we take as much advantage of the “free” work as we can.

There is definitely going to be some question about the amount “due” to RSB/Ulysses for the shares - I don’t expect it to be contentious but we will have to make sure that everyone is comfortable with that piece.
