Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the “Disney Collectible Shareholder Certificate”?
The Walt Disney Company decided to offer a Collectible non-negotiable certificate that best represents the experience of being a Disney Investor. Many of our Investors also enjoy giving the gift of Disney shares and this Collectible certificate can help commemorate such gifts.
How do I order a Collectible Certificate?
The Collectible Certificate can be ordered directly through the Disney Store at www.disneystore.com. Disney is not accepting orders via phone at this time.
What is the difference between a “Collectible” and a “Negotiable” certificate?
Negotiable certificates are actual securities representing underlying share ownership. Like many companies, Disney no longer offers stock certificates. Owning shares in “book-entry” or “direct registration” (also known as DRS) has become the preferred form of stock ownership. This type of ownership eliminates the loss of certificates, and subsequent shareholder cost of replacement, as well as simplifying the transfer or sale of shares.
Disney Collectible Certificates are not actual securities and may not be sold or traded as securities or on a stock exchange.
Why did Disney eliminate stock certificates?
Disney wants to provide a more reliable Investor experience, while eliminating the need to process lost certificates. Owning shares in “book-entry” or “direct registration” eliminates the loss of certificates and simplifies the transfer or sale of shares.
