Transferring Shares Between Registers:
UK to Canada / Canada to UK
In the UK, Common Shares of Orsu Metals Corporation (“OMC”) are represented by CREST Depositary Instruments (“CDI’s”). CDI’s are held in uncertificated form on either the Issuer Sponsored sub register (sponsored by the issuer) or the CREST sub register (sponsored by a broker).
In Canada, Common shares of OMC are either certificated (i.e. a physical share certificate is issued in the name of the shareholder) or held though a brokerage account. Shares that are held through a brokerage account are reflected in OMC’s share register as part of the holding of the Canadian Depository for Securities Limited (“CDS”).
When transferring securities between Canada and UK, care should be taken to ensure that the appropriate instructions are given so that the securities are put on the correct sub register. If the securities are to be put on the CREST sub register then the HIN (Holder Identification Number) must be quoted. An SRN (Security Reference Number) will automatically be issued when securities are placed on the Issuer Sponsored sub register.
