Met Life Stock Transfer Form PDF Details

Navigating through the complexities of transferring stocks can often seem daunting for many, but with the MetLife Stock Transfer form, the process is streamlined to help individuals and professionals alike. This form, designated for use by the Delivering The Promise Program, serves as a comprehensive guide to facilitate the transfer of MetLife, Inc. common shares from one account to another under specified circumstances. Akin to a roadmap, it outlines the necessary steps and documentation required for various scenarios, including transfers due to the death of a shareholder, changes in name or trust status, and outright sale or gifting of shares. The first section meticulously specifies the shareholder's details and transfer instructions, offering options for the number of shares one wishes to transfer and emphasizing the requirement for the transferor’s signature, accompanied by a Medallion Signature Guarantee which acts as a fraud prevention measure. It also delves into the reasons behind the transfer, signifying the importance of consulting a tax advisor for potential implications. The form transitions into outlining the setup for the new shareholder’s account, addressing the need for detailed information and tax certification to comply with legal and regulatory standards. Moreover, it includes provisions for selling the transferred shares and mandates the new shareholder’s agreement to the sale terms detailed in an attached disclosure. This intricate form, while detailed, serves as an indispensable tool for accurately and efficiently executing stock transfers, ensuring both compliance with regulatory mandates and adherence to individual instructions.

Sale Disclosure

MetLife Policyholder Trust Accounts

All sale transactions in the MetLife Policyholder Trust are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase & Sale Program and the Program Procedures. Under the terms of the Program, once a sale instruction is delivered to the Program Agent, it cannot be revoked.

Under the MetLife Purchase & Sale Program, as amended, you may sell shares of MetLife, Inc. common stock through the MetLife Policyholder Trust (the “Trust”) free of any commissions or other fees. A copy of the brochure describing the program is available on the Internet at www.metlife.com under Investors Relations on the Shareholder Services Information page or by calling our Customer Service Center at 1-800-649-3593.

Selling all shares will terminate your participation in the Trust and your right to participate in the Purchase & Sale Program.

Partial sale are only permitted if you have more than 199 shares. Partial sales can only be made in lots of 100.

Effective December 14, 2001, you are permitted to sell all, but not less than all of the Trust Interests transferred to you (as permitted under the Program) by a deceased Trust Beneficiary without regard to the share limitations described above related to partial sales.

Non-Policyholder Trust Accounts

MetLife shares held in Book Entry in the Direct Registration System (DRS), held in Non-Policyholder Trust accounts may be sold through the MetLife DRS Sales Program. The program is administered by The Bank of New York Mellon, (the Administrator). All sales will be processed by the Administrator through a registered broker/dealer that is an affiliate of the Administrator. All sales under the program are subject to a transaction fee not to exceed $15 per transaction plus $0.12 per share. The transaction fee will be deducted from the proceeds of your sale.

The Administrator will combine the shares you want to sell through the program with other shares that are also being sold by other program participants. Shares are then periodically submitted in bulk to the broker/dealer for sale. Shares will be sold promptly after the Administrator receives your instructions, usually within one business day, but in no event more than five business days (except where deferral is necessary under State or Federal regulations).

The price per share for any shares sold through the program will equal the market price that the broker/dealer receives for your shares (or the weighted average of the market prices of each sale if more than one broker trade is necessary to sell all the combined shares). On the settlement date, which is three business days after the date your shares have been sold, the Administrator will mail your proceeds by check to your address of record.

All sale requests are final, and once received cannot be cancelled or changed. All sales are subject to market conditions and other factors. Under the program, directions to sell shares on a specific day or at a specific price cannot be accepted. The actual sale date or price received for any share sold through the program cannot be guaranteed.

Participants must perform their own research and must make their own investment decisions. Neither the Administrator nor any of its affiliates will provide any investment recommendations or investment advice with respect to transactions made through the program.
