Corporate Actions (Name Changes/Mergers/Reorganization):

• Equity issues (common stock, preferred, rights, etc.) require a new CUSIP based on the type of the corporate action or if the alphabetical sequencing of the issuer has changed.
• New CUSIPs may be required for debt issues if the debt is listed with the NYSE and a Supplemental Listing Application is filed with the Exchange to list the debt under the new name.

CGS must be notified of any name change that occurs, including mutual funds. Even if the CUSIP is not expected to change, final documentation reflecting the effective date of the action is required as all name changes need to be accurately reflected in the CGS database.

Reverse Split:

When a reverse split occurs a new CUSIP is issued for the new common stock and the underlying common stock number is suspended when the notice of shareholder approval is received. A new CUSIP is not issued if a forward split takes place, unless there is a mandatory exchange of shares.

144A Private Offerings:

For 144A Private offerings, CUSIPs are issued for the 144A and Accredited Investor (Regulation D) portion of a deal; a CGS CINS (CUSIP International number) is issued for the Regulation S portion of the deal, based on the private placement offering memorandum submitted. A CUSIP will also be issued for the registered portion of the deal if there are future registration rights. In total, 4 identifiers can be issued for this type of offering as indicated by the documentation.

Partial Pre-refunding:

If a maturity is partially pre-refunded, it is CGS's procedure to issue two new CUSIPs: one for the pre-refunded portion and one for the un-refunded balance portion of the maturity. The underlying CUSIP will be suspended. When requesting the new identifiers, Requestor must supply the underlying CUSIP.

Secondarily Insured Issues:

When an issue is partially insured in the secondary market, a new CUSIP is assigned to the insured portion of the issue. A request should be submitted by the insurer to receive a CUSIP for the insured portion. The underlying CUSIP remains active.

Bank Bonds:

To request CUSIP identifiers for bank bonds due to a failed remarketing or in the event of a possible failed remarketing in the future, please submit a Tender Notice, Bank Purchase Agreement, Standby Letter of Credit or Notice of Conversion. Draft documents are acceptable. Please include the original CUSIP and the tender or remarketing date in the Special Instructions field. If there are multiple tenders please provide the first tender date.
