Share transfers

Standard share transfers

The following documents will be required for share transfers:

• Letter of Instruction providing Imperial's transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada (“Computershare”), with a complete list of the name(s) and address(s) to which they are to transfer the holdings, as well as the denominations of the certificate(s) required. Please also include the social insurance number / social security number / tax payer ID number.
• Original certificate(s) / Ownership Statement(s) / DRS Advice(s).
• Securities Transfer Form completed with the signature(s) on this form corresponding with all the name(s) as written upon the face of the certificate(s), in every way, without alteration or enlargement, or any change whatsoever. If any holdings to be transferred are held in Imperial’s Dividend Reinvestment and Optional Share Purchase Plan, please include on the form “any and all Dividend Reinvestment Plan shares”.

The signature(s) on this form must be guaranteed by one of the following methods:

Canada and the USA: A Medallion Signature Guarantee obtained from a member of an acceptable Medallion Signature Guarantee Program (STAMP, SEMP, MSP). Many commercial banks, savings banks, credit unions, and all broker dealers participate in a Medallion Signature Guarantee Program. The Guarantor must affix a stamp bearing the actual words “Medallion Guaranteed” and containing a unique number with a letter prefix based on the dollar value of the security. 

Canada: A Signature Guarantee can be obtained from the Royal Bank of Canada, Scotia Bank or TD Canada Trust. The Guarantor must affix a stamp bearing the actual words “Signature Guaranteed”, sign and print their full name and alpha numeric signing number.

Outside North America: For holders located outside North America, present the certificate(s) and/or document(s) that require a guarantee to a local financial institution that has a corresponding Canadian or American affiliate which is a member of an acceptable Medallion Signature Guarantee Program. The corresponding affiliate will arrange for the signature to be over-guaranteed.

The Computershare Guarantee Alternative Program (GAP): You may be eligible to utilize the Computershare Guarantee Alternative Program (GAP) in place of the STAMP if the total market value of stock is under CA $12,500. Please contact Computershare at 1-877-296-3716 (514-982-7685 local) to obtain instructions on how to proceed.
