 What type of securities does Imdex Limited (Imdex) have on issue?
Ordinary shares.

What stock exchange is Imdex listed on?
The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), trading under the code ‘IMD’.

What is Issuer Sponsorship?
Issuer Sponsorship replaced share certificates in 1997.  Issuer Sponsorship enables shareholders to hold their securities in ‘paperless’ form (like the Clearing House Electronic Subregister System (CHESS) of the ASX), but without being tied to a particular broker.  However, unlike CHESS, shareholders cannot hold securities in different companies under the one identifying holder number. Your SRN typically begins with the letter ‘I’ (which may look like the numeral ‘1’ in some fonts).  Instead of receiving share certificates, holders receive holding statements (like CHESS) which show all details and movements such as purchases and sales.  Statements are issued when you first become an Imdex shareholder, and are dispatched within five business days of the end of any month in which transactions occur.  One of the important things to remember about Issuer Sponsorship is that your security holder reference number (SRN) should be treated like a bank account PIN and not disclosed to third parties (except when authorised by you for a particular purpose – eg. trading, etc.).  Please quote your SRN in any correspondence with Computershare (Imdex’s share registry provider).  This will enable Computershare to correctly identify you and fulfil your requests.

What is Broker Sponsorship?

Broker Sponsorship enables shareholders who are regular traders with a particular broker to have all of their holdings in different companies recorded under one holder identification number (HIN).  Your HIN begins with the letter ‘X’.  Again, it is extremely important that the confidentiality of your HIN is maintained.  Broker sponsored holdings are maintained on ASX’s CHESS system.  Your broker can explain this to you in more detail.  Another very important thing to know about Broker Sponsorship is that nearly all changes (changes of address, etc.) must be made through your sponsoring broker.  This is to ensure that their records about you are completely correct.


How many Imdex shares do I hold?
You can determine the number of Imdex shares you hold through the Shareholder Services link.

How do I buy or sell Imdex shares?
Imdex shares can be bought or sold through a registered stockbroker.  The ASX operates a stockbroker referral service and can be contacted by phoning 1300 300 279 or visiting www.asx.com.au

How can I transfer my Imdex shares to a family member or other person?
If you wish to transfer your Imdex shares to another person, and not through selling your shares on the stock exchange (ie. in an off-market transfer), you will need to complete a transfer of ownership form quoting your SRN.  Click here  to download a transfer of ownership form.

What happens if the holder dies?
If the Imdex shareholding is in the sole name of the deceased, the solicitor or representative of the estate should notify Computershare (Imdex’s share registry provider) of the death and whether or not an application for probate is being made.  Computershare will then advise the procedures for dealing with the holding.  If the deceased is a joint holder, you should forward a certified copy of the death certificate with a request that the holding be registered in the name of the surviving holder.  The request should include the holding’s SRN. 

I sold some of my Imdex shares during the financial year.  Can I have a history of my holding?
Please contact Computershare, Imdex’s share registry provider for a history of your holding.

I want to sell my Imdex shares, but my broker needs my SRN/HIN – where do I find this?
Your SRN/HIN is in the top right area of your Imdex holding statement.

I can’t locate my SRN / HIN. Can you give it to me over the phone or internet?
For security reasons we cannot give you your SRN/HIN over the phone or the internet.  We can send you a replacement holding statement to your registered address.  This statement will contain the number.  Please contact Computershare, Imdex’s share registry provider.

What happens if my SRN or holding statement has been stolen?
Please contact Computershare, Imdex’s share registry provider, immediately either by phone, mail or fax.  A lock will be placed on the holding to prevent any unauthorised trading.  A statement will then be issued advising you of your new SRN/HIN.

How do I amalgamate several holdings of Imdex shares?
For Issuer Sponsored shareholders
If the names, addresses and banking instructions are identical, and they are Issuer Sponsored, the Imdex shareholdings can be amalgamated.  Simply write, fax or e-mail Computershare (Imdex’s share registry provider), quoting each SRN and requesting that they be amalgamated.  Where the names, addresses or banking instructions are not identical, please contact Computershare (Imdex’s share registry provider) for specific instructions.

For Broker Sponsored shareholders
If one or more of your Imdex shareholdings is Broker Sponsored, you will need to contact your broker to arrange the amalgamation.  Computershare (Imdex’s share registry provider) is not permitted to make changes to Broker Sponsored holdings.


When is the 2008 Imdex Annual General Meeting going to be held?
The 2008 AGM is expected to be held on 16 October 2008.

When can I expect to receive Imdex’s 2008 Annual Report and Notice of Meeting?
If you are a shareholder, and have elected to receive an Annual Report, you should have received your 2008 Annual Report and Notice of Meeting.  If you have not elected to receive an Annual Report, you will only receive a Notice of Meeting.  If you have not received your documents please contact Computershare (Imdex’s share registry provider). 

Should I provide my Tax File Number (TFN) or Australian Business Number (ABN)?
You are not required to quote your TFN or ABN.  However, if you choose not to provide your TFN, ABN or exemption category, and you are an Australian resident for taxation purposes, Imdex is required to deduct tax at the highest tax rate, plus the Medicare levy, from any unfranked portion of your dividend.  Collection of TFNs is strictly regulated by taxation laws.  If you wish to quote your TFN or ABN or exemption category please contact Computershare (Imdex’s share registry provider) or download  a form.   If you are unsure as to whether you fall within an exemption category, the exemption category number which is relevant to you or whether you require a TFN or ABN, you should contact the Australian Taxation Office.

How do I provide my TFN?
If you are an Australian resident for taxation purposes, your TFN can be supplied via mail, fax or phone.  Click here  to contact Computershare (Imdex’s share registry provider).

How do I advise Imdex’s share registry of a change of address?
A. You may advise Computershare (Imdex’s share registry provider) by calling or in writing, and include your SRN.  Click here to download a Change of Address form.  You will need to forward this form by mail to Computershare (Imdex’s share registry provider).  This advice needs to be signed by the shareholder(s).  If you have a joint shareholding, all joint shareholders need to sign the Change of Address form.  If your holding is broker sponsored in CHESS you must notify any change of address to your sponsoring broker.

Can I correct the spelling of my name?
To have the spelling of your name corrected you must complete a Name Correction Request and Indemnity form and send it to the share registry.  There can be no change of beneficial interest in making a correction in this manner.  If your holding is broker sponsored in CHESS you must ask your broker to make the correction for you.  Please click here  to contact Computershare (Imdex’s share registry provider).

Can I have my Imdex shareholding changed to my married name?
To enable your shares to be registered in your married name, you must write to Computershare (Imdex’s share registry provider) requesting the change, quoting your SRN and enclosing a copy of your marriage certificate.  If your holding is broker sponsored in CHESS you must ask your broker to make the change for you.  Please click here  to contact Computershare (Imdex’s share registry provider).

Who can I contact if I have any more questions?
Please click here to contact Computershare (Imdex’s share registry provider) if you have any further questions regarding your Imdex shareholding.
