SUBJECT: Worthless Securities To Be Deleted From Participants Accounts.
The Issuer or Transfer Agent of each of securities identified on the attached listing has informed DTC that
the rights represented by the securities have expired and that the certificates representing such securities are
therefore worthless. Consequently, effective on or after the thirtieth day following the date of this notice:
(a) such securities will be deleted from all Participants’ accounts and (b) DTC may, in its sole discretion
destroy the certificates representing such securities without further notice.
Participants can remove security positions deemed worthless by using the Position Removal (PREM)
function over the Participant Terminal System (PTS) prior to the date on which DTC will delete such
positions.
During the first week of next month DTC will accept day deposits on the issues listed as expired issues on
this Notice. In order to use this special deposit procedure, Participants must do the following:
(1) Participants must send to their Participants Services representative a copy of the attached “Blank
Acknowledgement and Authorization RE: Deposit of Worthless Certificates” (Exhibit A), executed
by an authorized person. No deposits of expired securities under this procedure will be accepted
from Participants who have not filed this authorization.
(2) The deposit ticket for the expired securities should be marked prominently “Worthless Securities”.
(3) Each deposit of expired securities should be accompanied by a copy of the attached “Manifest and
Acknowledgement & Authorization/Deposit of Worthless Certificates (Exhibit B), completed with
the details of the deposited securities.
(4) The deposit should be presented at Window 7 in the Central Delivery Area at 55 Water Street during
normal day deposit hours.
All deposits of expired securities will be billed as Day Deposits. These deposits will be reflected on
Participants Activity Statement in the same fashion as any other deposits. Participants remain fully
responsible for reviewing these statements to ensure that these activities are properly reflected. DTC
may reinstate positions in Participant s’ accounts if an issuer or transfer agent subsequently indicates to
DTC that the security does, in fact, have value.
Warning: Nothing contained in this Notice shall relieve Participants of their responsibility under
DTC’s Rules and Procedures to check the accuracy of their Daily Participant Statements and to notify
DTC of any discrepancies.
Any questions regarding this Notice may be directed to DTC’s Customer Help Center at 1-888-360-
3822.
