Frequently Asked Questions
Converting your shares into MMG CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs) – Hong Kong to Australia
If you hold a share certificate this will need to be delivered to our Registrar in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited (“Computershare HK”), accompanied by a CDI Issuance form which can be obtained here.
If your MMG shares are held with a broker or custodian, you will need to:
1. Instruct your broker or custodian to initiate the withdrawal of your shares from the Central Clearing and Settlement System (CCASS) in Hong Kong, arranging their re-registration; and
2. Complete a CDI Issuance form which can be obtained here, and return this form to Computershare HK accompanied by your share certificate.
Alternatively, if your broker or custodian uses Computershare’s online cross-border instruction portal xSettle, then they can provide the CDI issuance instruction directly to Computershare HK on your behalf.
Once Computershare HK receives both the share certificate and instruction to issue the CDIs then:
- Your shares will be removed from Hong Kong to MMG’s Australian branch share register.
- At which point they are transferred to CHESS Depositary Nominees (CDN *), with CDIs then issued to you.
*CDN is the depositary nominee, appointed by MMG, who holds legal title the shares on behalf of the CDI holders.

Do I receive a CDI statement?
Yes, a holding statement is issued each time there is a movement of securities in your CDI holding.
- CDI holders who are issuer sponsored will receive a holding statement from MMG’s CDI Registrar, Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited (“Computershare Australia”).

Cancelling your CDIs and releasing the underlying MMG shares – Australia to Hong Kong
If you wish to have your securities returned to the share register in Hong Kong you can request to have your CDIs cancelled and the underlying shares release to you.
- If your CDIs are held on the issuer sponsored subregister you will need to complete a CDI Cancellation form which can be obtained here.
- If your CDIs are held on the CHESS subregister, you will need to contact your broker or custodian to deliver them to Computershare for cancellation.
- The delivery of CDIs, by your broker or custodian, will need to be accompanied by a CDI Cancellation form which be obtained here or an xSettle instruction if your broker or custodian uses Computershare’s online cross-border portal.
Computershare Australia will then arrange the transfer of the shares from CDN to you, and the shares will then be removed to the Hong Kong share register. A share certificate will be issued by Computershare HK and be sent to you. If your Australian broker or custodian is an xSettle user they can provide CCASS deposit information during the conversion process.
