Transfers Between Subregisters
| Name | Description | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| CSP (Participant) to Issuer Sponsored Transfer | A request to transfer securities, Free of Payment (FoP), from a Participant controlled Account (HIN) in the CSP, to an Issuer Sponsored Holding, maintained on the Issuer Sponsored Sub-register. | Where the transferee is an existing holder on the Issuer Sponsored Sub-register, the Participant may provide the Securityholder Reference Number (SRN) in addition to the registration details. Participants can also lodge tax file numbers or exemption codes and Australian Business Numbers. The issuer checks whether the holder has an existing holding and updates the financial product accordingly. If the details do not match an existing holding, the issuer opens a new holding and issues a new Securityholder Reference Number. |
| Issuer Sponsored to CSP (Participant) Transfer | A request to transfer securities, FoP, from an Issuer Sponsored Holding, maintained on the Issuer Sponsored Sub-register, to a Participant controlled Account in the CSP. | The Participant must provide the Securityholder Reference Number (SRN) in addition to the registration details recorded on the Issuer sponsored sub-register. The Issuer checks whether the provided holder's registration details match with the provided SRN and if the details match the holding is updated accordingly. For non-market Participants only: Transfers are relayed via the CSP to the Issuer’s registry, but must be supported by signed transfer request documentation lodged with the Issuer(Registry). The transfer will not be effected on the CSP subregister until authorised by the Issuer(Registry). ASX intends to seek regulatory clearance for removal of this additional paper-based validation requirement for non-market Participants for Day 1 of the CSP. In a separate BAU initiative (prior to Day 1 of the CSP) ASX is reviewing the requirement to furnish an Issuers Registry with a signed transfer document/instrument for a subset of qualifying non-broker participants prior to a transfer being effected. |
When transferring holdings between Sub-registers, the targeted holding must be identified with an appropriate identifier, as follows:
Sub-register | Identifier to use for transfers |
|---|---|
CSP | Holder Identification Number (HIN) |
Issuer Sponsored | Securityholder Reference Number (SRN) |
Participant to Issuer Sponsored Transfer
A request to transfer securities, FoP, from a Participant controlled Account (HIN) in the CSP, to an Issuer Sponsored Holding, maintained on the Issuer Sponsored Sub-register.
The following table depicts which Participant controlled Accounts (HINs) can be used as the Account (HIN) delivering units in a Participant to Issuer Sponsored Holding Transfer.
The delivering Account (HIN) must exist prior to the request of these transactions. The receiving Account (SRN) does not necessarily need to exist as these transactions may result in the Holding being moved to an existing SRN or a new SRN may be allocated.

Participant to Issuer Sponsored Holding Conversion
No change of registration name or address can occur with a conversion. In the scenario where an Account (SRN) does not exist prior to the Holding Conversion, the Issuer (Registry) will establish a new holding as a result of the conversion. Further, if an existing holding on the Issuer Sponsored Sub-register is referenced, and the registration details advised in the conversion request do not match the registration details of the nominated holding, the Issuer (Registry) will establish a new holding.
