@StockJabber @RKrooton @Crussian17 @AlderLaneEggs @FriendlyBearSA @AureliusValue So the technical deadline was Feb. 29. There's an automatic 14-day extension, so that brings it to March 15. After that, they're not in compliance. It's pretty common for companies to say they will get their filing in within that 15-day extension, but $RILY didn't do that here.
