Securities and Exchange Disclosure

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a rule to provide a means of direct communications between issuing companies and their beneficial shareholders whose securities are registered in the name of a bank or a bank’s nominees.

Under the rule, you have the right to decide whether you wish us to disclose your name, address and securities positions to companies in which you have invested as well as to those companies in which you may invest in the future. An issuing company would be permitted to use the information for corporate communications purposes only.

Darwin Trust Company does not disclose names, addresses or security positions without client consent.

Customer Information Disclosure

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.

What this means to you: When you open an account, we will ask your name, address, date of birth, social security number or tax identification number, and other information (including a copy of a valid government issued form of ID) that will allow us to identify you. This information will be verified to ensure the identity of all persons opening an account.

In certain instances, Darwin Trust Company is required to collect documents to fulfill its legal obligation. Documents provided in connection with your application will be used solely to establish and verify a customer’s identity, and Darwin Trust Company shall have no obligation with respect to the terms of any such document.
