Transfer Agent Information
The Bank of New York is Avaya's stock transfer agent. A transfer agent is appointed by a corporation to maintain records of its stockholders. The transfer agent keeps records of every outstanding stock certificate and the name of the individual to whom it is registered. When an individual sells stock, the transfer agent transfers the ownership of the stock from the seller's name to the buyer's name. The transfer agent also resolves problems that arise from lost, destroyed or stolen certificates.

The transfer agent provides safekeeping and liquidation services. The transfer agent accepts deposits of share certificates and holds them in book entry form. This reduces the risk of fire, theft or loss of your certificates. The transfer agent will also sell, at your written request, any shares it holds on your behalf.

Online Account Access
