Lost Stock Certificates
Lost stock certificates are costly and inconvenient. If a certificate
is lost, stolen or destroyed, notify our Transfer Agent, Wells Fargo
Shareowner Services, immediately so that a "stop transfer" instruction
can be placed on our records to prevent transfer of ownership to
another person. Wells Fargo Shareowner Services will send you the
forms to permit the issuance of a replacement certificate. In order
to replace your certificates, we are required by law to post a surety
bond at your expense to protect all concerned against the possibility
that the lost certificates might return to circulation. The cost
may vary; currently it is based on two percent of the market value
of your lost shares. It is important to safeguard your certificates
against loss.
As an additional precaution and for your tax records, you should
keep a separate record of each stock certificate showing its certificate
number, the number of shares, the total cost or value when purchased
and the date acquired.
