Share Lending Protection
An important benefit of holding shares in book entry is that shares registered directly with VStock cannot be lent to third parties without the shareholder’s consent. This supports the Company’s broader efforts to protect its shareholders against potential market manipulation of the Company’s stock and ensures that shareholders maintain full control of their shares at all times.
Shares can be transferred back to a broker via DRS transfer at any time; however, shares must remain in book entry from the Record Date through to the Qualifying Date in order to qualify for the bonus.
