Got a similar message - while I was at a meeting at 5:41 tonight, TD Ameritrade emailed me to check my account(s) for a message(s) ... so I just checked to find the following:

Dear Dima,

On September 28, 2021, new amendments adopted by the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) go into effect to enhance investor protection and improve issuer transparency. These amendments restrict the ability of market makers to publish quotations for those companies that have not made required current financial and company information available to regulators and investors.

Ahead of the regulatory enforcement date, we will only accept orders to liquidate positions (i.e. no new buy orders) starting August 13, 2021. After the amendment officially goes into effect on September 28, 2021, it may be more difficult to liquidate these securities. Quoting and market liquidity may also be very limited.

What this means for your account(s).

You are receiving this notification because you currently hold one or more of the impacted securities in your account. We're including the list below but be aware that it may not include all of your impacted securities. There is also a chance that the impacted companies could come into compliance with the regulatory requirements ahead of this date and be removed from the list. For a current list of all securities (which is subject to change), please visit www.tdameritrade.com/retail-en_us/resources/pdf/TDA101550.pdf.

JBZY, UNVC,

You have multiple options to consider, such as:

Take no action. You are not required to sell these securities; however, starting August 13, 2021 we will restrict these securities to liquidation-only transactions. You may continue to hold them, but you may have difficulty selling them in the future and there is no guarantee as to what their future value will be.

Place trades to liquidate. You may place trades to liquidate these securities now. Due to the uncertainly, we cannot guarantee there will be sufficient liquidity to close your position(s) in the future.

Transfer your positions to another financial institution. Other U.S. financial institutions are also impacted by this amendment so you may have difficulty transferring them out of TD Ameritrade. If you are interested in transferring the assets, please submit any outgoing transfers requests to us. (These transactions may incur fees or commissions, depending on the asset type.)

We're here for you. Just reply to this message to write us, or call Client Services at 800-669-3900. We're available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Sincerely,

The list of restricted securities is subject to change at any time. You will be responsible for any trading decisions, including any tax consequences of such trades, and agree that TD Ameritrade will not be liable for any future appreciation of securities that were sold.

Of course I will NOT LIQUIDATE my UNVC shares because I believe Dr. Dalton will get this ticker CURRENT any day and at least now I know it's likely to happen by August 13th (possibly before like any day this month) since brokerages have apparently put out this kind of letter to only allow liquidation after the 13th.

Above it states:

So makes me suspect this "third party resources" (as I bolded above in their letter) is actually the SEC.
