What do I do if a dividend check is lost or stolen?
Contact us immediately. We'll issue a:

• Stop payment order against the original check.
• Replacement check.

Once a dividend check is replaced, the original check is no longer valid and must not be cashed if received. The replacement check stub will list the invalid checks.
