Home > Important Notice to Shareholders Holding Paper Certificates

To Geovic stockholders holding paper share certificates:

You may utilize a service of the stock transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., called Direct Registration System, or DRS, to have your shares registered in book-entry form at Computershare. No fees are charged to stockholders for this service. Using this electronic method, you may hold your shares at Computershare without charge, sell them directly through Computershare for minor transaction fees, or transfer them at any time to a broker or back to yourself in certificated form.

If you participate in the DRS program, you will continue to be shown as a stockholder of record of Geovic.

In order to facilitate this electronic process, your shares, represented by unrestricted, freely trading certificates, must be delivered to one of the following addresses, with an accompanying "instruction letter" instructing Computershare to deposit the shares into a DRS book-entry account. Once received, Computershare will mail you a statement showing they are holding such shares in book entry form, as well as a set of instructions for holding, selling, or transferring the shares.

If share certificates still have restrictive legends on them, such restrictions need to be legally removed before the shares are eligible to be sold. If this is the case, please call Computershare before sending in the certificates, at which point a Shareholder Service representative will instruct you on what additional documents may be required in order to have the legends removed.

Computershare can be reached at the following phone numbers:

Telephone: 800-962-4284 (U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico)
Telephone: 781-575-3120 (non-U.S.)
