Almost all of our investors, including former RHI AG shareholders, hold their interest through a broker, bank or nominee (or in a similar manner) and are neither a Shareholder nor a Depositary Interest Holder.

You should contact your bank, broker or nominee who will administer your shareholding on your behalf.  The share structure for RHI Magnesita means there are no share certificates with all investment being held through a bank, broker or nominee.  This may be in the form of Depositary Interests or shares held through Euroclear Netherlands.

We recommend you obtain independent financial advice.
