Today after confirming that Legacy Trading is no longer acting as a market maker for Huntingdon Life Sciences (Stock Symbol: LSRI), we are happy to announce that LSRI has been moved from the Over The Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) to the Pink Sheets. Following is a repost from SHAC UK listserv explaining the significance of this milestone achievement.

Win Animal Rights wishes to add our thanks to all of you who tirelessly attended protests, sent numerous e-mails and letters and made countless phone calls to the financial supporters of HLS (LSRI). To take LSRI from their potential listing on the New York Stock Exchange down to the Pink Sheets in less than six months is an incredible and inspiring victory. But our work isn't over yet. Please help us close this hellhole for good! Stay tuned for upcoming protest schedules and action alerts.

Congratulations to all who helped to make this major victory possible!

"Well Done to everyone who has taken part in the email action alerts (especially the Sterne Agee alert). You have achieved this victory. Thank you so much. Now on to occasional brokers like Vertical and Seaboard. Today Huntingdon Life Sciences (trading as Life Science Research) lost their only listed Market Maker, Legacy Trading. Without a listed Market Maker HLS cannot be listed on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board ( www.otcbb.com ) and so were bumped off onto the lowly Pink Sheets. Skip Bourchin from Legacy confirmed that the reason they pulled was that they were effectively given an ultimatum by their clearing broker Sterne Agee who said that if they didn't dump HLS then Sterne Agee would dump Legacy. Sterne Agee were the subject of a SHAC action alert very recently. This has come as a bitter blow to HLS and it has to be said to Legacy trading. So what does being on the Pink Sheets mean? Well the first thing to note is that the whole point of exchanges like the NYSE or the OTCBB is that they give you better liquidity for your stock. By being on the Pink Sheets you basically become pretty invisible to most share buyers with lots of brokers either not dealing on the Pink Sheets or on a very limited basis. This could have not come at a worse time for HLS who have to pay back $47 million in bonds on Sept 23rd this year. What a turn around over the past few months from standing on the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange with 45 minutes to go before they ring the bell and your shares start trading on the largest stock exchange in the world to going in the opposite direction and ending up on the Pink Sheets. The one thing you should never underestimate is SHAC because when the bell rang at the New York Stock Exchange HLS were not there but SHAC was.
