We know what it means in the literal sense
As your other (very good) post explained in detail, holders would be forced to sell off market if they wished to sell.
In a realistic and actual sense, for retail Australian investors that means the holding is essentially worthless, because what are they going to do, ring up some random Chinese dude to flog them the shares? List the shares on Taobao?
Once a holder is in the 'holding a portion of a delisted Chinese company' boat, they might as well get out of the damn boat.
It's annoying enough dealing with Australian delisted companies!
Red flags all round again I'm afraid.
Anyway I hope that doesn't happen in this case and everyone does ok with XPD.
Good luck all.
