What is the difference between a registered stockholder and beneficial stockholder?

If your Dow shares are held in your name directly through Dow’s transfer agent, Computershare, then you are a registered stockholder.

If your Dow shares are held by a broker, dealer, bank, other nominee or custodian fund, then you are a beneficial stockholder. This is also commonly known as a “street” account or being a “street” holder.

What is a medallion signature guarantee?

A medallion guarantee is a type of signature guarantee used within the securities industry which verifies the authority and authenticity of a signature. A medallion signature guarantee is different from a notary. Signatures on written instructions, forms or stock certificates authorizing stock transactions must be reviewed by a firm that is a member of a qualified medallion guarantee program and have a medallion signature guarantee stamp affixed. Firms participating in the medallion stamp program include commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loan institutions, U.S. stockbrokers and security dealers, or credit unions. If you require a medallion signature guarantee, contact a bank, brokerage house or other financial institution with which you do business. Please note that if you are not the registered owner, you will be required to present documentation to the guarantor proving your authorization to execute the transfer.

What is Direct Registration or Book-Entry?

Dow has decided that all shares of stock will be issued as book-entry shares and no certificates will be issued representing Dow common stock. Book-entry registration is an easy and safe alternative to paper certificates. Also referred to as Direct Registration or DRS, book-entry allows Dow’s transfer agent, Computershare, to maintain your shares on the books of the company electronically. Book-entry shares have the same rights and privileges as certificated shares, along with these benefits:

  • Convenient and secure
  • Reduces risk, time and cost associated with storing paper certificates and replacing lost or stolen certificates
  • Allows for electronic transactions between the transfer agent and your broker or dealer
  • Reduces administrative costs to Dow and its stockholders

Book-entry has been encouraged by both the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange.

Escheatment

What is "escheatment" and when does it take place?

Escheatment is the process by which abandoned or unclaimed property is transferred to a state, making the state the legal owner of the property. A stock account can be deemed abandoned by inactivity due to an incorrect mailing address, uncashed dividend checks, or no direct contact by the stockholder for a specified period of time. Each state has its own escheatment laws, with inactivity or dormancy periods ranging from three to five years. The laws apply to all inactive stock accounts – whether owned by U.S. or foreign stockholders, including those enrolled in dividend reinvestment plans or direct deposit of dividend payments or holding paper stock certificates. Before any property is transferred to a state, all companies are required to perform a due diligence search for owners of property at risk of escheatment.

back to top

How can I prevent my stock account from being escheated to the state?

You must keep your stock account active. Do this by: keeping your address current and correct, voting your proxy, cashing or depositing all dividend checks, and responding to any due diligence mailings from our transfer agent.

back to top

Will enrollment in the Computershare CIP, direct stock purchase and dividend reinvestment plan, keep my account stock account active?

Several states confirmed that dividend reinvestment may not constitute "direct" contact by a stockholder. So even if there is a good address on the account, if there has been no other account activity (for example, sale or purchase of shares, voting a proxy, or an address change or response to a due diligence mailing) during the dormancy period governed by the state, the stock account may be considered to be inactive or dormant by the state. As such, the property is then escheated to the state according to its specific laws.

back to top

How can I find out if I have any escheated property? How can I recover any escheated property?

Go to your home state’s website to search for unclaimed property. International stockholders should search in the State of Delaware. To make a claim, follow the instructions provided by each state.
