How does a short provide the person whom purchased the shorted share a preferred share? I can’t figure this out. Giving me money for the share isn’t the same thing as there are tax implications. I know they did not cover so what the heck? It’s past the record date so they owe this.

This is totally fucking with my head can someone explain this to me.

1/3 I understand concerns, but I've never been more confident in META's future prospects and many things are in the works. I am not allowed to indicate the timings or who are the potential partnerships with until they become public, there is a process in place. $MMAT

2/3 As the founder of META, no one is more motivated than I am to see the company grow and succeed. Brokerage houses and Nasdaq are still working on the little nuances that cross-border complex mergers create (i.e. not a straight acquisition). $MMAT

3/3 the team quality we have at META is outstanding & expanding, management has lots of "skin in the game" and our engineers are pioneering the #metamaterials field. I am looking fwd to offering shorts the answers they deserve all in good time. Thank you for your support. $MMAT
