Procedures for Transferring Stock Gifts

The shares should be transferred to The Young Leaders' Academy account. The donor’s broker should be instructed as follows:

The shares should be transferred to: Pershing/DLJ, care of Banc One Securities Corporation DTC #0443 for account #60J-065122 in the name of The Young Leaders' Academy.

Any questions should be directed to Paula Gandy or Karla Strupp at
Banc One Securities at 225-332-4422.

It is important that the donor or the broker promptly advise someone in the Development Office of The Young Leaders' Academy, (225) 346-1583, that a transfer is being initiated along with:

1. The name of the security being transferred,
2. The expected number of shares and/or value, and
3. The date the donor is using as the gift date.

Securities clear into our account without reference to the donor or broker, so we have no way to connect a transfer with a donor unless the donor advises us.

The donor’s date of gift, for income tax valuation, is normally the date on which the donor provides instructions to transfer the gift and loses control of the stock, which is often earlier than the date that the gift clears into The Young Leaders' Academy account.
