Signatur e Guarant ee sy Preventing unauthorized transfer of securitiesy If you hold securities in physical certificate form and want to
transfer or sell them, you will need to sign the certificatesor securities powers. Y ou will probably need to get your signature"guaranteed " before a transfer agent will accept the transaction.
y Although it's an inconvenience to get your signature guaranteed,the process protects you by making it harder for people to take your money by forging your signature on your securitiescertificates or related documents.
y
Transfer agents insist on signature guarantees because they limittheir liability and losses if a signature turns out to be forged.y One way to avoid having to get your signature guaranteed is to
have your securities held in street name, meaning that yoursecurities are held in the name of your brokerage firm instead of your name.

Signatur e Guarant eey A Medallion imprint or stamp indicates that the financial
institution is a member of a Medallion signature guaranteeprogram and is an acceptable signature guarantor. B y participating in the program, financial institutions canguarantee customer signatures with the assurance that theirguarantees will be immediately accepted for processing by transfer agents.
y Transfer agents can refuse to accept a signature guarantee froman institution that does not participate in the Medallion programor that is not recognized by the transfer agent.

STAMPy The Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, Inc. (STAMP, Inc.)
is a not-for-profit corporation that owns and, together with KemarkFinancial Services, the STAMP Program Administrator, operates theofficial signature guarantee program that is recognized and approvedby the financial industry and that is supported and endorsed by theSecurities Transfer Association (STA).
y The STAMP Program facilitates the equitable treatment of eligibleGuarantor institutions and promotes the prompt, accurate, and safetransfer of securities by providing the Transfer Agent with protectionagainst risk of financial loss if it has no recourse against the Guarantor.

STAMPy Once a Guarantor joins the STAMP Program, it must acquire the
necessary STAMP Medallion imprinting equipment and obtain Surety Bond coverage, which in many cases can be obtained at nominal costfrom the Guarantor s existing insurance carrier.
y In addition, Program Procedures require that all Guarantors receivecertification from the Program in accordance with strategies focusedon individual employee certification.
y Guarantor certification is achieved through prescribed training of relevant personnel, supported, in turn, by the availability of furtheronline learning and assistance.
y
Guarantor certification has as its primary goal safety and soundness inthe application of an institution s Medallion imprint. This goal isaccomplished through a well developed awareness of the legalframework and issues, including potential Guarantor liability, whenproviding a signature guarantee in connection with the transfer of asecurity.
