  • The shares you wish to sell must be listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).
  • Your holdings must be issuer sponsored, rather than broker sponsored.
Issuer sponsored shares are those not connected to a broker. This can be identified by looking at your Holding Statement, which will display a 10-digit number, most likely headed by the letter ‘I’. This number is called the SRN, Shareholder Reference Number. If your holder number starts with the letter ‘X’, this means your shares are connected to a broker.
If an “X” heads your number, your shares are broker sponsored under a HIN (Holder Identification Number). You will need to sell them through that original broker.
Your shares will be sold between market open hours, which are approximately 10am to 4pm (Sydney time) Monday to Friday (unless the market is closed for a national public holiday or similar). We endeavour to execute and sell your shares as soon as possible and normally do so within approximately two business days at the prevailing market price at the time the order is placed.

A confirmation Contract Note will be issued once your shares are sold. You should retain the Confirmation Contract Note for tax purposes, as it details the price your shares were sold at and the brokerage paid.
Your sell order will be placed as an ‘At Market Order’ which will match your order to the top bid (buyer’s) price at the time of execution. Market orders are not guaranteed to execute at the current last traded price in the market. If your order is partially filled it will remain on the market until fully sold. Contact us if you would like to enquire as to what the current last traded price is.
The net amount will be transferred to your nominated bank account on the second business day after your order is executed (T+2).
Up to four individual issuer sponsored parcels can be sold using a single application. If you have more than four parcels to sell, please contact us at (02) 8999 0595 or [email protected] and we can assist further.
To obtain information about your current shareholding and transaction history, including dividend payment information for taxation purposes, make changes to your shareholding, including to change your name, update your banking instructions, update your email or mailing address, record your tax file number, or transfer your holding, please contact your designated Share Registry.
Information regarding what Share Registry your company is registered with can be found at http://www.asx.com.au/.

“Do any of the shareholders on this page go by another name than that which is listed on the registered holding details (as per a Holding or Dividend Statement) ?” Select yes, and upload the necessary name change document(s).

You may also email your document to [email protected] , just be sure to include your transaction ID.

In order to sell shares for a Deceased Estate you will require the following:

  • The holdings will need to be registered to the name of the estate (e.g. Estate of John Doe, or any similar variation) This needs to be changed on the website as well.
  • The Estate name may also be an account designation to the executor (e.g., Jane Doe, ).
  • A certified copy of the Probate or the Will and Death Certificate.
