RELATED DEFINITIONS I
CHESS stands for Clearing House Electronic Sub-register System. The CHESS Settlement Facility is a computerised share registry and settlement
system operated by the ASX Settlement Pty Ltd (ASX Settlement), a subsidiary of the ASX. CHESS records an account’s share ownership via the ASX’s
computer-based share and settlement transaction system. An account’s security holdings are recorded against their HIN and a statement is sent out to
their registered address.
Issuer Sponsored Holdings are maintained by the Share Registry on behalf of the Issuer of your shares.
Security holder Reference Number (SRN) is a unique number that identifies you as an Issuer Sponsored holder with a listed company. A SRN usually
starts with the letter ‘I’ e.g. I00012345678. If you hold shares in more than one company and choose to be Issuer Sponsored, you will have a different SRN
for each shareholding.

SAMPLE OF A CHESS HOLDING STATEMENT H
Broker Sponsored Holdings If your shares are Broker Sponsored,
you will have a Holder Identification Number (HIN) allocated to your
holding rather than a Shareholder Reference Number (SRN), which
starts with an ‘X’. You can be sponsored on CHESS by more than
one broker or institution and you can even maintain holdings in the
same security under different sponsorships.
Holder Identification Number (HIN) is a unique number that
you are issued when you are CHESS/Broker Sponsored Holder.
Your HIN can register multiple securities under the one HIN. A
HIN starts with the letter X and is followed by eleven numbers e.g.
00002468123.
PID is an acronym for Participant Identification Number. This is
the Broker’s identification number. CommSec’s PID is 1402.
