| Q. | If an OSB is transferred before an interest date, who receives the payment and who receives the T5? |
| A. |
For fully registered certificates, the Registrar pays the interest (for annual interest Bonds only) and provides the T5 slip to the Registered Holder, that is, the person in whose name the Bonds are registered on JUNE 6, as no transfers can take place from JUNE 6 until after the following interest payment. For book-based Bondholders, the interest payment and the T5 slip come directly from the Bondholder’s investment dealer. Interest on Compound Bonds is paid to the registered holder at the time of maturity or at redemption. |
| Q. | Is there a transfer fee? |
