CHAPTER IV THE BOOK-ENTRY OF SECURITIES |
| Article 27 | Unless provided otherwise, customers, while making book-entry settlement of deposited securities, shall present the passbook as well as the specimen chop/signature for settlement confirmation. The said participant shall then make necessary record entries on each relevant customer's passbook and account book and notify the CSDE of the total amount of securities which the customers are required to deliver to the participant in the transaction.
The CSDE shall, upon receiving notification from the participant, immediately make book-entry transfer of the said securities from the "sub-account of customers" to the "sub-account pending settlement" on such participant's account book.

| Article 28 | Where a customer in the name of the participant directly deposits with a CSDE securities that the customer has consigned to purchase and is entitled to receive, upon completion of the relevant settlement procedures, the participant shall record on the customer's passbook information regarding the types and quantities of securities and other necessary matters, and shall notify the CSDE of the total amount of securities required to be transferred to customers.
After the CSDE has received the said notification from the participant and the said purchased securities have been transferred to the participant's account, the CSDE shall transfer such securities from the "sub-account pending settlement" to the "sub-account of the customers" on the participant's account book and notify such participant.

Where the balance in the account of a securities firm or securities finance enterprise is insufficient for settlement, the CSDE shall nevertheless transfer the existing balance to the account of the TWSE or of the TPEx, and notify the TWSE or the TPEx to take appropriate action on the matter.

For stocks or open-end fund beneficial certificates that shall be received by a securities firm from the CSDE, the CSDE shall transfer the stocks or open-end fund beneficial certificates from its account to the account of the securities firm.

The participant shall notify the CSDE by keying into the computer information regarding the securities that should be transferred and delivered from the customer to the transferee, and shall make the necessary entries in the customer’s account books.
When the application for transfer of securities under the preceding paragraph is one for transfer of bonds, beneficial securities, or asset-backed securities and not of a private placement nature, the application shall be reviewed and confirmed by the participant; with respect to applications for transfer of other securities, the participant shall submit the transfer information and relevant documentation to the CSDE, and the CSDE shall forward the information and documentation to the issuer for review and confirmation.
Once the securities to be transferred by application have been reviewed and verified as correct by the participant or issuer, the CSDE shall transfer such securities from the "sub-account pending settlement" on the transferor's participant account book to the "sub-account of the customers" on the transferee's participant account book.
