Optional Mail Loss Insurance
Please be advised that choosing registered, express or certified mail alone will not protect you should your certificates become lost or stolen.
As the Plan Administrator, we can provide low-cost loss insurance for certificates being returned for conversion to book-entry form. Mail loss insurance covers the cost of the replacement surety bond only. Replacement transaction fees may also apply. To take advantage of the optional mail loss insurance, simply include your $10.00 check, made payable to WFSS Surety Program, along with your certificates and instructions.
To qualify for this service you must choose to use an accountable mail delivery service such as Federal Express, United Parcel Service, DHL, Express Mail, Purolator, TNT or United States Postal Service
Registered Mail. Any one shipping package may not contain certificates exceeding a total value of $100,000.
The value of certificate shares is based on the closing market price of the common stock on the trading day prior to the documented mail date. Claims related to lost certificates under this service must be made within 60 days of the documented delivery service mail date. This is specific coverage for the purpose of converting shares to book-entry form and the surety is not intended to cover certificates being tendered for certificate breakdown or exchange for other certificates.
| Fee for Each Returned Check or Rejected Automatic Investment |
$35.00 |
In the event that a Participant’s optional cash investment check or automatic withdrawal is returned unpaid for any reason, the Participant will be charged a return fee. Further, the Administrator will immediately remove from the Participant’s account shares that were purchased in anticipation of the collection of such funds plus the return fee. These shares will be sold to recover any uncollected funds and the return fee. If the net proceeds of the sale of such shares are insufficient to recover in full the uncollected amounts plus the return fee, the Administrator reserves the right to sell such additional shares from any of the Participant’s accounts maintained by the Administrator as may be necessary to recover in full the uncollected balance plus the return fee. The sale of such shares may, in some cases, yield an amount greater than that required to recover in full the uncollected balance plus the return fee.
| Fee for Account Research (Per hour; one hour minimum) |
$25.00 |
We reserve the right at any time to change these fees or to charge Participants (including those who do not reinvest dividends) other fees, including but not limited to administrative, set-up and handling fees. Notices of such future changes or additional fees will be sent to Participants at least 30 days prior to their effective date.
