Step 4: Custody

The issuer certifies the securities and deposits them with a central securities depository to facilitate the settlement of securities transactions as well as the custody and management of the rights associated with the securities, such as divided payments, corporate actions, and general meetings. Currently, there is only one state-recognized central securities depository in German, Clearstream Banking AG, Frankfurt am Main (Clearstream/CBF).

In brief – this is what you need to do:

  • Create a legally valid securities certificate
  • Arrange for the delivery of the certificate to the central securities depository
  • Appoint a principal paying agent
