This means your shareholding/noteholding is maintained by the company whose shares/notes you hold (or the issuer of your shares/notes).

Issuer Sponsored holdings have an 'I' at the start of the Securityholder Reference Number (SRN) which is printed on your holding statement. Issuer Sponsored shares/notes may be traded through any Stockbroker.

If your shares/notes are CHESS Sponsored, you will have completed an agreement with a specific Stockbroker and will be issued with a Holder Identification Number (HIN). Your Shareholder/Noteholder Number will be that HIN, prefixed with an 'X'.

If you are CHESS Sponsored (Holder Identification Number (HIN) starting with 'X'), you will need to inform your broker who will arrange for the change to be noted in the CHESS sub-register.

If you are Issuer Sponsored (Securityholder Reference Number (SRN) starting with 'I') and are a Registered User in Investor Centre, you can update your address online Online Share Registry. Alternatively, please contact Link Market Services Group Limited to have a form sent to you.
