Important Notice: When you sign your name to this Assignment Form without filling in the name of your “Assignee” or “Attorney”, this stock certificate becomes fully negotiable, similar to a check endorsed in blank. Therefore, to safeguard a signed certificate, it is recommended that you either (i) fill in the name of the new owner in the “Assignee” blank, or (ii) if you are sending the signed certificate to your bank or broker, fill in the name of the bank or broker in the “Attorney” blank. Alternatively, instead of using the Assignment Form, you may sign a separate “stock power” form and then mail the unsigned stock certificate and the signed “stock power” in separate envelopes. For added protection, use certified or registered mail for a stock certificate.
