Important DRS Reminder to All Exchange-Listed Issuers: DRS Eligibility Exchange Listing Requirement

Posted: December 4, 2007

As you may already be aware, the NASDAQ,AMEX and New York Stock Exchange have passed a new listing requirement that all listed companies must become “DRS Eligible” by January 1, 2008. To meet this requirement, you must:

  • Check your by-laws to ensure that they permit book-entry ownership of your stock. If they do not permit book-entry ownership, then a by-law change must be effected before the January deadline.
  • Use a DRS-enabled transfer agent. This means that your transfer agent must be a limited participant active in the Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Direct Registration System (“DRS”). Registrar and Transfer Company (“R&T) is a DRS-enabled transfer agent.

You do not have to participate in the drs system to be considered “DRS Eligible”. However, you must notify R&T that:

  1. Your by-laws permit book-entry ownership; and,
  2. Whether or not you want your issue to participate in the DTC’s DRS program.

Letters have been sent to all clients that have listed securities with an attachment that should be signed and returned to R&T. Once we receive your notice,we will contact DTC, who will, in turn, notify the appropriate exchange. If you fail to notify R&T by January 1, 2008, your listing Exchange may sanction your company, possibly resulting in fines, and may ultimately de-list your security.

If you have any questions on the DRS process, please contact either your Account Executive or Tom Montrone, 908-497-2333.
