Share fraud information
Shareholders are advised to be wary of any unsolicited advice, offers to buy shares at a discount, or offers of free company annual reports.
Share certificates
A share certificate in your name is evidence of your ownership of shares. Unless your shares are held in electronic format, you will need your share certificate when you wish to sell or transfer your shares.
If you lose your share certificate or it has been stolen, you should contact EQ, the Company’s registrars, immediately. You may need to pay an administrative fee or other charge to obtain a replacement certificate. Further information on selling, transferring or replacing share certificates can be found by clicking the link below.
