This section contains information for direct holders of Indivior PLC shares
If you are a direct shareholder, your name appears directly on the Indivior PLC share register, and you will have been mailed a share certificate dated on or after June 12, 2023.
Managing your shares online
Direct shareholders can view their shareholding online by registering with Investor Center, a website managed by our Transfer Agent, Computershare U.S.
Once you have registered with Investor Center, you will be able to:
- View your share balance and value.
- Amend your personal details.
- Download printable forms.
- Register to receive shareholder mailings electronically.
- Vote your shares.
To register with Investor Center, please click here. You will need to complete the simple on-screen registration process.
Please note, as part of the registration process, Computershare U.S. will need to send you a security verification code which will be mailed to your registered address.
Important note for U.S. resident shareholders: If you are a U.S. resident shareholder, it is recommended that you register with Investor Center and regularly access your account. Your shares may be at risk of being escheated as unclaimed property by your state of residence if it appears that your shareholding is inactive. To demonstrate ownership activity, you should keep your name and address up to date, regularly check your share balance and vote your shares.
Selling your shares
As a direct shareholder you cannot sell your shares directly on the London Stock Exchange or Nasdaq Stock Market. To enable a sale, you will first need to engage a bank, broker, custodian firm, financial institution and/or other person that is a participant in The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") clearing system in the United States (“DTC Participant”). DTC is the electronic settlement platform for trades transacted on a U.S. stock exchange. Your shares will need to be transferred to your DTC participant before they can be sold.
To transfer your shares to your chosen DTC Participant, you will need to complete a Stock Transfer and Deposit Request Form which can be downloaded from Investor Center (please go to “Company Info”, type in “Indivior PLC” and then go to “Company Forms”). You do not need to register with Investor Center to access this form.
Please note:
- The Stock Transfer and Deposit Request Form will need to be stamped with a Medallion Signature Guarantee by a qualified financial institution (typically being your chosen DTC Participant to whom you are transferring your shares) for which a fee may be payable.
- The transfer of shares to a DTC Participant will be liable to U.K. Stamp Duty at the rate of 1.5% of the market value of the shares being transferred (rounded up to the nearest £5).
More information and detailed instructions on the transfer process can be found on the Stock Transfer and Deposit Request Form.
Once you have completed the Stock Transfer and Deposit Request Form (with it being stamped with a Medallion Signature Guarantee), you will need to send the following to Computershare U.S.:
- Your completed Stock Transfer and Deposit Request Form.
- Your original share certificate(s).
Computershare U.S. will contact your DTC Participant in relation to payment of U.K. Stamp Duty. Once payment has been received, Computershare U.S. will arrange for your Stock Transfer and Deposit Request Form to be stamped by U.K. HMRC and will process the transfer of shares to your DTC Participant. Following the transfer, you can then instruct the sale through your DTC Participant.
If you have any questions in relation to a sale of shares as a direct shareholder, please contact Computershare U.S.
Medallion Signature Guarantee
A Medallion Signature Guarantee is a special stamp that is used when you transfer U.S. shares. It confirms that the signature authorizing the transfer is genuine and that the signer has the legal capacity and authority to sign the transfer document.
A qualified financial institution (like a bank, broker or custodian) provides the guarantee by applying a stamp to the transfer document.
When transferring shares to a DTC Participant (being your chosen bank, broker or custodian), they will likely be the party that can apply this stamp to your form. You can find more information on obtaining a Medallion Signature Guarantee here.
Keeping your personal details up to date
It is important that you keep your name and address on the Indivior share register up to date. You can do this by:
- Registering with Investor Center and updating your details online via “My Profile”; or
- By sending a signed letter to Computershare U.S. which confirms your previous address, your new address, your Computershare Holder ID number (this is a number starting with “C” followed by 10 digits which you can find on your share certificate) and the fact that you hold Indivior PLC shares.
