CDC Procedures for Conversion/Replacement of Physical Shares into Book-Entry Form

Once a shareholder has a CDS account and the company is set up in CDS, the shareholder submits the original physical share certificate(s) and a signed Transfer Deed (with Share Transfer Stamp, where applicable) to CDC Investor Account Services or their CDS Participant (broker). The company then logs into its CDS portal and approves the conversion request, after which the shares are credited to the shareholder's account in book-entry form and an eAlert confirms the credit.
