- Change to Share Certificates
Dematerialisation of shares
An important change is happening on 1 January 2025 which will impact shareholders holding securities in certificated form in Irish publicly listed companies whose shares are traded on an EU or UK Market.
As a result of EU regulations, effective from 1 January 2025, share certificates will no longer be issued or represent evidence of title. Entries on the Register of Members will be recorded electronically solely in ‘’dematerialised’ form by book entry. Whilst paper share certificates will no longer be valid, there will be no change to your shareholding or the number of shares which you hold as a result of dematerialisation. You do not need to take any action to affect the dematerialisation of your shareholding. This will be processed automatically on 1 January 2025 by our registrar (Link Registrars Limited (“Link”).
Shareholders can check their balance at any time and, from 1 January 2025, can download a Statement of Holding (as may be required in the event of a sale of shares) by logging on to Link’s shareholder portal https://www.SignalShares.com and following the instructions on screen. You will need your Investor Code (“IVC”) to register on the portal if you have not previously done so. Your IVC can be found on your current share certificate or a previously issued proxy form or shareholder communication from the Company.
