| I have a stock certificate from a bank that was acquired by Sovereign. What should I do? |
|
Sovereign's Merger and Acquisition History lists the banks purchased since 1989. To learn how you may exchange your certificate for the appropriate consideration, call Mellon Investor Services at 800-685-4524.
If you were a shareholder of Independence Community Bank Corp (ICBC), call American Stock Transfer regarding the cash exchange of ICBC at 877-248-6417.
It's a good idea to follow up as quickly as possible when you find old stock certificates. If too much time passes, they will be considered unclaimed property and could be escheated to your state of residence.
If you think your stock has been escheated, contact the Division of Unclaimed Property for your state of residence.
