| U.S. Tax Withholding:
The Company is required by law to have the following information for all new U.S. shareholder accounts: - Certification of the shareholder's Tax Identification Number (social security number for most people).
- Certification that the shareholder is not subject to backup withholding taxes.
Both of these certifications are included in the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-9.
New shareholders can complete the substitute W-9 on the bottom of the SIP application form or one will be sent to you after your account is open.
Without a properly completed and signed Form W-9, the Company is required by law to withhold 31% from reportable payments, such as dividend payments or sales, and immediately pay the amount to the IRS.
If you do not have a W-9 on file you can download, complete and return the attached form W-9. Mail the completed form to:
