As soon as the certificate is determined to be missing, written notice including as much information as possible describing the missing certificate, i.e. the company name, registered owner's name, number of shares, certificate number and date of issuance if known, and circumstances surrounding its loss or destruction. Computershare as transfer agent will place a stop transfer order on the missing certificate(s). Computershare will correspond with the shareholder regarding replacement procedures. It will be necessary to obtain an indemnity bond at the shareholder's expense, which protects both the issuer and the transfer agent against future claims on the shares. Computershare can provide a bond application form and a bill for the premium to the shareholder. The total fee is approximately 3% of the current market value of the missing shares plus processing fees.
If your dividend check has been lost or stolen or you have not received it within 10 days of the published payment date, please contact Computershare immediately at 1-800-969-6718. A replacement check will be issued. Once a dividend check is replaced, the original check is no longer valid and should be destroyed.
