REPLACING STOCK CERTIFICATES

Lost / Stolen / Destroyed Stock Certificates
Should your stock certificates become lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated, please immediately notify Benpres or STSI in writing so that the certificates may be disabled in the records and any unscrupulous trading of the same may be suspended. Pursuant to the Corporation Code, the registered owner should further submit the following legal requirements:

1. An Affidavit of Loss indicating, among others, the nature of the loss/destruction/mutilation, the stock certificate number(s), and the number of shares involved;
2. An Affidavit of Publication from the publisher evidencing that the loss was published in a newspaper of general circulation once a week for 3 consecutive weeks; and
3. A surety bond equivalent to 150% of the market value of the shares, should you decide to have the replacement stock certificate issued within one year from the last date of publication. Otherwise, the replacement stock certificate shall be issued one year after the last publication date.

Change of legal name
This usually arises due to change in status. The stockholder is required to submit: (1) a signed letter requesting the change in name, (2) duly endorsed stock certificates, (2) duly accomplished specimen signature card, (3) submission of legal documents (e.g. marriage contract) supporting the request for change in name.

In replacing stock certificates as enumerated above, STSI charges minimal transfer fees (P22 per certificate cancelled and P110 per certificate issued, both VAT inclusive).
