Article 79
|
On the business day preceding book closure of an issuing company or the interest payment date of open-end fund beneficiary certificates, a securities firm shall prepare a share transfer list with respect to the security of the issuing company held in customer margin accounts, specifying those shares that are purchased on margin and those that are deposited as collateral to offset against margin collateral requirements, and send the share transfer and interest claim list, together with the data file, to the central securities depository to carry out share transfer procedures with the issuing company or its shareholder services agent on behalf of the customers. Provided, where the issuing company closes its books because of a special shareholders meeting, the number of shares of the issuing company's stock held in customer margin accounts that are purchased on margin shall, for the purposes of share transfers, be calculated by the securities firm in accordance with the provisions of the Rules Governing the Calculation of Number of Shares of Margin Buyers for the Purposes of Share Transfers Upon Special Shareholders Meetings.
A customer using book-entry central government bonds to settle a margin sale may engage a securities firm to collect interest payment via the Book-Entry Central Government Securities Clearing Bank, and transfer the interest payment less any withholding tax deducted as agreed by both parties back to the customer prior to the business day following the interest payment date.
