Regulations Governing the Administration of Shareholder Services of Public Companies 

Amended Date: 2023.03.06 
Article 3-3     When a company whose stock is listed on the stock exchange or traded on the OTC market terminates the engagement agreement with its shareholder services agent to handle its shareholder services, or the engagement agreement is terminated by its shareholders services agent, or when, by order of this Commission, it must engage another shareholder services agent to handle its shareholder services, and it therefore makes a change in its shareholder services agent, the company shall in each case do so through the passage of a resolution by the board of directors, and after entering into an agreement with the new shareholder services agent, shall report the matter to the institution designated by this Commission for recordation.
    When a company has made a change in its shareholder services agent pursuant to the preceding paragraph, then within three days, calculated from its receipt of the letter indicating recordation by the institution designated by this Commission, the company shall report the change to the stock exchange or the OTC securities exchange and publicly announce it.
    The preceding two paragraphs shall apply mutatis mutandis to the company under paragraph 1 when it makes a change from handling its own shareholder services in-house to outsourcing them, or when, by order of this Commission, it must outsource those services, and it therefore engages a shareholder services agent to handle them.
