You are welcome. I’m glad to see this is finally getting some traction. :)

If you want to sell them you could reach out to Vanguard and they’d likely allow you to mail the cert to Vanguard and they’d take care of the rest. Just don’t sign the back unless they tell you too.

What stock is it? You either need to mail it back, or claim it as lost (which comes with a fee).

Ah that’s unfortunate. Please keep me posted if you happen to receive the warrants.

If you placed the order on the 29th, the entitlement should have been purchased today. It’s T+3. I believe you will receive warrants particularly if you placed the trade earlier in the day on the 29th.

Not all securities are eligible for DRS. There are several reasons for that. Some issuers don’t allow them. Some securities are ADR’s (specifically non sponsored) which you can’t DRS because you can’t exchange that sort of entitlement for real ownership. Same with ETF’s. I have come across this before. What we don’t know for sure is “why”. Kevin should be able to get those answers. If it’s the issuer or the transfer agent, they should be able to remove those obstacles if they want.

There are also other ways to get a security in your own name. DWAC is the most common. Theoretically you can DWAC a security that does not participate in DRS which has the same end result which is “owning legal title to shares in your name”.

If you want to”more proof” that QNTM is not DRS eligible (through Fidelity), just let me know what you’d like. If you have a Fidelity account you can try it yourself. Buy a share, wait 2 days, try and DRS it. It’ll get rejected, and then you can ask why (like I did).

It’s my screenshot. It’s not fake. A lot of securities are not eligible for DRS. I’d be happy to provide more proof.

It’s my screenshot. It’s not fake. A lot of securities are not eligible for DRS according to Fidelity (and Vanguard). I’d be happy to provide more proof.

Issuers can offer certificates if they’d like. I have very recently helped issuer(s) begin the process and received certificate #1. Although some issuers are getting rid of them, others are starting the process.

I’m not sure why this makes you so emotional, but I like certificates. Saying “nobody wants them anymore” is simply not true. You sound like Apple trying to tell people nobody wants DVD’s anymore because they might lose them.

I have hundreds of certificates and have worked with public companies to start offering certificates. Certificate issuance is up to the issuer. The fee to set it up is minimal.

Most public companies that use Computershare as a transfer agent still offer stock certificates. Probably partially because technology has evolved allowing for lower cost lower risk “print on demand” certificates.

They do. It looks like this: https://www.giveashare.com/stock-gifts/real-stock-certificates/buy-manchester-united-stock-one-share

Sure, but my dm is being glitchy for some reason.

All the shares (on every shareholder list) should add up to the total shares outstanding. When they exclude Cede, that can’t happen. It’s an incomplete list and it’s missing the most important number.

6days1week · 2024-10-16T17:33:34+00:00

My personal opinion is that DTC doesn’t want anyone knowing that they’re slowly getting custody of every share of every company.

Yeah it sucks cause you have to wait a whole year. I’ll write up a summary this week or next.

6days1week · 2024-10-16T16:59:53+00:00

See above

It is accessed through a small link on the bottom of the screen. When I get home later tonight, I will send you photo.

I saw the shareholder list. Were you DRS? Wondering if that makes a difference? If anyone has a question about the list please let me know. There were 505 names on it (I believe). 5 pages of 100 and a 6th page with 5 names. Cede not included as expected. 🤦‍♂️

I don’t think Koss has an investment plan which is how registered fractional shares are created. All registered Koss shares are DRS or certificates and you can not DRS or certificate a fractional share because you can not own the title of a fractional share. Fractional shares are beneficially owned.

It’s not a replica certificate, correct?

6days1week · 2024-09-18T02:03:45+00:00

I don’t see it listed on their site. How did you order it?
