Another Step Completed!

We asked about our Article 5 today which was submitted on November 4th. It seems like it has taken a long time for it to get here. This was the message I received:

"Your article 5 was picked up on 11/18, and forwarded to the CCAA on the same day. It takes the CCAA 3-4 weeks to issue the TA."

So we are on to step 8! We are almost done!
