1. A Signature Guarantee is a stamped or typewritten assurance from a financial institution (guarantor) that a signature or endorsement is genuine. Please check with your financial institution to be certain their guarantee will meet the requirements stated below.

The Transfer Agent has adopted standards and procedures pursuant to which Signature Guarantees in proper form generally will be accepted from domestic banks, brokers, dealers, credit unions, national securities exchanges, registered securities associations, clearing agencies and savings associations. Signature Guarantees will also generally be accepted from financial institutions participating in the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program (MSP), the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (STAMP) and the Stock Exchanges Medallion Program (SEMP) provided the transaction amount does not exceed the guarantor's surety bond coverage. The Alpha Prefix obtained for the Medallion Guarantee must cover the entire transaction request. Notarization by a Notary Public is not an acceptable guarantee.
