Common Transfer & Registration Issues
Dividends on common stock, as declared by the Board of Directors, are normally paid on the 10th day of March, June, September and December.
Form 1099-DIV will be mailed by Computershare no later than January 31 to stockholders that were paid at least $10.00 in dividends the previous year.
If you do not receive your dividend check on the appropriate payment date, we suggest that you wait at least 10 days after the payment date to allow for any delay in mail delivery. After that time, advise Computershare to issue a replacement check. You may contact Computershare to authorize electronic deposit of your dividends or interest into your bank account.
91³ÉÈËÊÓƵ is committed to serving its shareholders. Shares can be purchased through a Direct Stock Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plan sponsored and administered by Computershare Trust Company, N.A. Details about the Computershare Investment Plan, including any fees associated with the Plan, can viewed and printed from or by contacting Computershare at 1-888-843-5542.
Comprehensive and consolidated financial statements (SEC Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8K) are available online at the . Click here to see the Annual Report.
It is important that you notify Computershare immediately when you change your address. As a convenience, you also may make your address change online via â„¢.
Federal law requires that each stockholder provide a certified Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) for his/her stockholder account. For individual stockholders, your TIN is your Social Security Number. If you do not provide a certified TIN, Computershare may be required to withhold 28 percent from your dividend payments for federal income taxes.
If you have not done so, we recommend that you return any USX Corporation or United States Steel Corporation common stock certificates, which were issued prior to May 7, 1991, in exchange for shares of 91³ÉÈËÊÓƵ Corporation common stock. Certificates should be sent to Computershare. Since 91³ÉÈËÊÓƵ Corporation does not issue stock certificates, your 91³ÉÈËÊÓƵ Corporation shares will be put in direct registration in your account at Computershare. Computershare will send to you a Direct Registration Statement reflecting your shares of 91³ÉÈËÊÓƵ Corporation in your account.
If a stock certificate is lost, stolen, or destroyed, notify Computershare so that a "stop transfer" can be placed on the missing certificate. Computershare will send you the necessary forms and instructions for obtaining a replacement which will be issued in direct registration form. You may be required to obtain and pay for the cost of an indemnity bond. If you find the missing certificate, notify Computershare immediately so that the stop transfer can be removed. To avoid loss, theft, or destruction, we recommend that you keep your certificates in a safe place, such as a safe deposit box at your bank.

Escheatment Information
If the property owner can't be found (i.e. multiple pieces of returned mail) or hasn’t demonstrated an interest in the asset (i.e. voting the annual proxy statement or contacting the bank/broker/transfer agent on a regular basis), the U.S. state where the holder lives can take custody of those belongings. In the case of 91³ÉÈËÊÓƵ (MRO) common stock and a foreign shareholder, the stock would be escheated to our state of incorporation (Delaware).
Escheatable property varies by state and includes a wide range of assets. These assets include (but aren't limited to) dividend checks and underlying shares of common or preferred stock, uncashed wage and expense checks, insurance claims, premiums or payments, and bonds or mutual fund, bank or other accounts for which the issuer doesn't have the holder's current address. Once the state considers these assets abandoned over a specified period of time, they must be turned over. This FAQ focuses on your 91³ÉÈËÊÓƵcommon stock.
Each state sets its own rules and time frames in its definition of what constitutes unclaimed property. The key element is the definition of ‘dormancy,’ which is the period of time that an asset, payment, receivable or other instrument can remain inactive before it can be considered unclaimed. During this period, which typically ranges from three to seven years, a company must take steps to locate the owner of the asset. If it's unable to do so, it must hand the asset over to the relevant government entity.
All states require a ‘due diligence’ mailing to a shareholder before final escheatment, but many states require a mailing only if the value of the assets is $50 or more.
In theory, property turned over to the state can always be reclaimed by the rightful owner, but some states immediately liquidate equities and other asset classes to get their immediate cash value. In these states, the holder is only entitled to reclaim the net proceeds of the sale price at the time of the sale, which could mean big losses for holders whose stocks are down and who bank on holding them for the long term.
First and foremost, be sure to update your address with your financial institution (bank, broker or transfer agent for paper certificates). Contact the applicable institution at least once per year, whether it be by accessing your password-protected account online, calling into the customer service center, writing the financial institution or transfer agent, cashing your dividend checks, updating your address, changing a beneficiary, buying shares or voting a proxy.
If you receive a notice alerting you that your account is considered ‘inactive’ or ‘abandoned,’ respond immediately. Some third parties such as Keane and Georgeson may contact you, providing assistance in helping to re-activate your account, but you always have the option of handling this directly with your financial institution or 91³ÉÈËÊÓƵ’s transfer agent, wherever your shares are held.

Direct Registration
Keeping it simple with direct registration
Direct Registration is an option you can consider to simplify record-keeping and automate your holdings. It's a service that allows shares to be owned, reported and transferred electronically without holding a physical stock certificate representing your 91³ÉÈËÊÓƵ common shares. By choosing Direct Registration, your shares would be held in your name and recorded electronically on 91³ÉÈËÊÓƵ’s books and records via its transfer agent, Computershare.
Safety
Holding your shares via Direct Registration relieves you from the worry and responsibility of monitoring your valuable stock certificate(s). It also saves you time and money when getting them replaced if you can't find the physical certificates. Under Direct Registration ownership, you maintain your traditional voting and other rights and benefits as a stockholder.
Capabilities
Below are examples of some of the things you can do with direct registration for record keeping and automation:
- For safekeeping, you can convert your existing physical stock certificate(s) to book-entry stock ownership.
- You can sell all or some of your book-entry shares simply by calling Computershare, our transfer agent, at 1-888-843-5542 between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, Monday through Friday.
- You can receive your dividends in cash or choose to reinvest all or part of them to purchase additional shares through 91³ÉÈËÊÓƵ's Dividend Reinvestment Plan (detailed below).
- You can transfer your book-entry shares without having to surrender a physical stock certificate.
- You can electronically transfer all or some of your shares held by your broker to Direct Registration by contacting your broker.
