REPOST: WHY IS YOUR INFO REQUESTED FOR THE DIVY?
PDR's are certificates issued by and through the "Foundacion PayPro". Fundacion PayPro is a privately registered Panamanian foundation. Under Panamanian law,(Law 25, of 25th June 1995 of the Republic of Panama) you MUST be a member of the Foundation to receive the PDR. All transactions involving the PDR are and will be handled THROUGH the Foundation. What you are getting from the Foundation is a receipt, the value for which, continues to be held in the Foundation.
THEREFORE, you must join the foundation by creating an account with them before your PDR can be issued, traded, or sold. The info you provide is much the same as that which would be requested by your bank, broker, or anyone else making financial transactions on your behalf.
MT has said that the passport info is a means of ID for non U.S. Citizens who want to buy PDR's. You don't need to fill that out, other than N/A. MT has also said he will work on removing all non-essential info requested. The brokerage info allows them to verify the stock held in your account, as well as to allow a comparison of stock reported as held by shareholders vs. stock held by a given brokerage.
In short, this info allows an account to be set up for you, as well as assists the company in obtaining a full accounting of all shares to the extent possible.
