Affidavit of Lost Stock Certificate
It is not uncommon for an investor to lose their Stock Certificate, which would mean that you would be unable to sell or transfer your shares if you wanted to do so. However, there is no need to panic as we can help you to replace your original stock certificate, although shareholders may be required to provide us with a Lost Securities Bond. Please contact us for details about the requirements of a Lost Securities Bond.
Shareholders are required to report their lost stock certificate to us as soon as possible and try to provide the certificate number and the share amount. We can then place a “Stop” on the certificate in order to prevent its transfer. Shareholders can then start the process to replace their lost stock certificate by filling in an Affidavit of Lost Stock Certificate. This can be used in lieu of the lost stock certificate in case of:
- Transfer of ownership of the stock
- Selling your stock to the Company
Please Note: Shareholders who find their stock certificate after advising A&P Stock Transfer to initiate the replacement process will be liable for a recovering filing fee to re-activate the certificate. Fees associated with replacing a lost stock certificate may include an open-ended surety bond based on the percentage market value of the stock.
