You maintain records of my stock, it it necessary that I keep the certificates?
Even though we maintain a record of your shares, in order for you to sell or transfer your stock a physical certificate must be presented. Please keep your certificates in a safe place -- lock box, home safe or safety deposit box. You will pay a fee plus a percentage of the value of the stock to replace your lost certificates. With that said the SEC has approved a new Direct Registration System (DRS). This book-entry form of ownership permits shareholders to hold and transfer share(s) in a new way. Shareholders still have all the traditional rights and privileges afforded to shareholders, without the necessity of having a physical certificate. To read more about this process go to our Direct Registration page.
