This is even simpler. Only transfer when you want to sell them.

How do I transfer registered shares to beneficial or street shares via my broker?

Contact your broker directly
Your broker will ask for some basic information about your account, including:
The issuer of the shares
The transfer agent name (Broadridge)
Your account number (obtain from your statement or online account)
The number of shares you wish to transfer
Whether you hold your shares in DRS (book-entry) or certificate form
The broker will then have the shares transferred from Broadridge to your brokerage account

If you desire to keep your TRW shares in certificate form then that certainly is your prerogative.

Once shares are registered and publicly traded there is nothing that the company can do to prevent shareholders from having them deposited into their respective brokerage accounts. Technically,the TA would automatically transfer the shares to those accounts unless instructed to issue them in cert form by the shareholder.

The downside to keeping them in cert form is that in order for you to sell you'd have to locate a buyer; something that the exchange would handle for you, otherwise.
