How do I prevent my shares from being loaned for a short interest position?
Our stockholders should be aware that brokerage firms may facilitate short selling in Fossil shares by lending Fossil stockholders’ shares held in margin accounts. Through this practice, brokerage firms earn an alternative source of revenue by “lending” shares to sophisticated and institutional investors who are betting that the price of the stock will fall. If the price of the stock in fact falls, then the brokerage firm and the sophisticated and institutional investors who borrowed and shorted the stock will make a profit, while the ultimate retail investor that actually owns the shares will not.
For our stockholders who believe in the Company’s long-term future and success, we would like to present the following actions you can take with your brokerage firm to prevent the lending of your shares for short selling:
- hold your Fossil shares in a cash account at your brokerage firm instead of a margin account (a model instruction letter is set forth under the heading “Example Form of Letter to Broker” below);
- if your broker provides the option, opting out of any securities lending programs, which should stop your broker from lending your shares; or
- moving your shares to a Direct Registration account at the Company’s transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A.
Additionally, if shares are currently on loan by brokerage firms to facilitate short selling, stockholders have the option of asking their broker to recall their shares.
