Depositing your shares into Upstream is easy! Upstream can accept the shares that non-U.S. persons hold in their current brokerage account, shares that are held at the transfer agent in digital book entry, or your physical stock certificate. Here’s how to deposit your shares, step by step. 

STEP ONE. CREATE AN ACCOUNT ON UPSTREAM & VERIFY YOUR IDENTITY

1. Download Upstream and tap Sign Up. This will create your account/wallet and 'signing key'.
2. Complete KYC. To complete KYC identity verification, tap the settings icon in the top right of the navigation, then tap KYC. Be sure to have a valid form of ID and banking details handy. It's important that bank account information matches your name exactly.
3. Once you receive an email letting you know your KYC is approved, you’re ready to move to the next step.

STEP TWO. DEPOSIT YOUR SHARES WITH THE TRANSFER AGENT (NON-U.S. ONLY)

1. If your shares are already held at the transfer agent, you may skip this step and move on to step 3.
2. If your shares are held in a brokerage account, please complete the following:
   1. Contact your broker’s customer service via email and let them know that you’d like to have your shares held as 'direct registration' in 'book entry' at the transfer agent. The brokerage firm will know what to do, and they will let you know how long it will take. This must be done before shares can be deposited at Upstream.
   2. To find the issuer’s transfer agent to contact, please visit the issuer’s profile page on Upstream or visit the issuer’s investor relations page for transfer agent contact details.
   3. Some brokerage firms may ask you to fill out their particular share transfer form. Contact us at servicedesk@upstream.exchange if you need assistance in completing a share transfer form from your brokerage firm.
   4. It is important that your name, address and social security number that your shares are registered under at the brokerage firm match the information that you provided when opening your account on Upstream. If your address at the brokerage firm is out of date, then you will need to update it with your brokerage firm BEFORE you transfer your shares to the transfer agent. Note, if the addresses do not match your address on Upstream, then your share deposit to Upstream will be delayed by the transfer agent.
   5. After receiving confirmation that your shares are with the transfer agent, you may request to deposit your shares on Upstream using the Upstream app.

STEP THREE. REQUEST TO DEPOSIT SHARES USING THE UPSTREAM APP (NON-U.S. PERSONS ONLY)

1. Open Upstream, Tap Investor, Manage Securities, Deposit Securities. Next, select the Company’s Ticker Symbol and enter the Number of Shares you’re requesting to deposit. Tap Next.
2. Confirm whether your shares are free trading or restricted and, optionally, enter your brokerage firm name and brokerage account number, and tap Next.
3. Finally, tap Add E-Signature, sign your name on the screen using your finger, tap Done, and then tap Sign.
4. Once the transfer is complete you will receive a push notification in the Upstream app and see the share deposit in your Upstream Portfolio. Please note, if shares are not yet listed, they will not be available for trading until listing day.
5. Please note that the value of each share deposit request on the Upstream app may not exceed $100,000. This value is determined by the closing price of the security on the previous trading day multiplied by the number of shares being deposited.
6. Once you make the share deposit request using the Upstream app, and the transfer agent has your shares in 'book entry', then most of the time the Upstream deposit process typically completes within 2 business days (Monday to Friday, excluding U.S. holidays).

STEP FOUR. YOU’RE READY FOR TRADING ON UPSTREAM (NON-U.S. ONLY)

1. Once the shares are in your account, you’re ready to trade on the next generation exchange! Enjoy real-time trading, a transparent orderbook, and other features enforced by smart-contract technology. View your shares anytime, anywhere in your Upstream Portfolio. For more information on trading, visit Upstream's support center.Upstream’s support center.
2. Note, Upstream will consider requests for deposit and sale of Securities falling under the categories:
   1. Shares trading on NASDAQ or the NYSE
   2. Shares trading on the OTC Markets
   3. Shares issued in private offerings exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Securities Act Rule 506(c) of Regulation D or Regulation S.
   4. These offerings must comply with the Upstream view that securities must be registered or have a valid exemption from registration in connection with their original issuance pursuant to U.S. or European securities laws in order to qualify for secondary trading on Upstream. In addition, this applies to securities currently trading and held in DTC or Euroclear.
3. However, Upstream will not consider or accept for deposit any Securities:
   1. that were issued by a company or held by person that is a respondent to any regulatory authority actions, however the specific action may be reviewed for additional . information to allow deposit;
   2. that have any known “bad actors”, as such term is defined in US Rule in 262 of Regulation A or Rule 506(d) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act; or
   3. that reference a company or customer name that has been changed or that does not match the name on the account and for which no valid reason is provided.
