| What is the difference between Issuer sponsored and Participant sponsored (CHESS)? How do I know what my holding is? |
Issuer Sponsored is where shares are held in an uncertificated form, without the requirement for sponsorship by a CHESS participant. Shareholders are not issued share certificates, but instead receive statements detailing their movements and holding balance.
Statements are issued when you first become a holder and are also mailed within 5 business days of the end of any month in which transactions occur. The holding statement also shows your personal Securityholder Reference Number (SRN) identifying the issuer sponsored holding.
CHESS stands for Clearing House Electronic Subregister System. CHESS participants have direct access to the settlement process and can sponsor other securityholders to use CHESS facilities. All stockbrokers are participants, as are most large institutional investors, custodian nominees and trustee companies.
An individual shareholder would generally use a stockbroker as their sponsoring participant. A sponsorship agreement is then signed with the nominated participant, authorising them to deal with the holding subject to certain conditions. Your holding statements would indicate the name of the participating sponsor. |

| What is a Security Reference Number (SRN) and how do I find out what my SRN is? |
Issuer Sponsored holders are allocated two unique identification numbers - an SRN and a Holder Number. The SRN provides a higher level of security (similar to a credit card PIN); it is only shown on Issuer statements and must be provided to your broker when buying or selling CSR shares. The unique holder number is quoted on other correspondence and cannot be used to sell your holding in CSR.
You can request your SRN by contacting the share registry by letter or fax. You must provide the following information:
· Full name(s) and address (old and new if changed) of the registered investor(s)
· Company/Trust in which the investments are held
· Number of shares/units held
· Signatures of the registered security holders:
You may also obtain your SRN in person from the share registry upon production of a drivers licence or current passport. |

| How do I consolidate more than one holding? |
For Issuer Sponsored holdings: If the names and addresses recorded for both holdings are identical and the holdings are registered on the same subregister (ie. both are certificated or both are issuer sponsored), please contact CSR's share registry to consolidate duplicate holdings.
If the names of the holdings are not identical, you will need to contact the share registry to confirm the process necessary for amalgamating them under one holder number.
If the consolidation of your holdings involves a CHESS holding, you need to contact your sponsoring broker to arrange consolidation. |
