Shareholders who own their shares in “Street Name” through any of the above brokers should contact their broker to determine why they have not submitted their beneficial owner list to the Company to enable the issuance of the spin-off shares to their clients.

As a reminder to shareholders, the Company has made available in the “Investor” section of its website a “Shareholder Transmittal Letter” which will provide shareholders the opportunity to independently document their position in WEYL common stock, as of the spin-off record date, while the Company is processing the required beneficial owner lists from the banks/brokers. The Company urges all shareholders who hold their shares of WEYL in “Street Name” (i.e., through accounts at banks/brokers) to download the Shareholder Transmittal Letter, complete the requested information, and return the completed and signed letter directly to the Company by email to spin-off@weyland-tech.com. Please do not mail your completed Shareholder Transmittal Letter to the Company.  If you are a registered shareholder who holds shares in certificate or book entry form directly from the Company, you need not complete the Shareholder Transmittal Letter.
