Nominee registrations
Explanation:
A nominee is generally a legal entity, appearing in a commercial capacity, which
registers shares with the company on behalf of its customer. It does so in its
own name but for the account of that customer.
This discloses its trustee status and the nominee declares itself, subject to
certain conditions, prepared to reveal the identity of its principal to the
company.
