There is definitely a 'buyer' for them to be able to 'cease', it's still has a buyer/seller for a transaction to take place , just interested in 'whom' that just might be, not a lot of volume today, and FYI, MUFG owns like 20-30% of MS, so 'notice' is just an ASX technical formality...
Note a previous post, the recent MS/MUFG 'notices' are for different 'lending/repurchase agreement' entities, NBC Global/Deka (as recent BUYERS), and now NY Bank and LYB Finance Co (as recent SELLERS), MS/MUFG are just the facilitators from what I can gather...
Bring on the next round of results..!! Hopefully we'll see some more price-action...
