Obvious my dear Dr Flash, go direct to the horses mouth, question the transfer agents and pos. tsx.

Dear Jim,

As you probably know, publicly traded companies are required to offer book entry registration of shares via the Direct Registration System (DRS). When shareholders request their shares be registered as a book entry, they become registered shareholders and clients of the company?s Transfer Agent.

Computershare sends statements to clients (shareholders). If a book entry registered shareholder wishes to negotiate their shares, they can request from Computershare the linked below DRS Direct Transaction Form. Once the form is completed and returned to Computershare, the shares can be negotiated as they request. Other transfer agents have similar forms for their respective companies.

I trust this is helpful to some of the CIGAs,
CIGA Helen
