Shareholders are not required to complete any procedures if their share certificates have already been deposited to the Japan Securities Depository Center (JASDEC) through their securities companies.
If your share certificates are in your name, they will be recorded in a special account opened based on the shareholder registry when converting to the electronic share certificates. While your shareholder right is preserved, in order to sell your shares, you will need to open a trading account with a securities company in your name in advance to transfer the balance of shares.
For more details about the electronic share certificate system, see the Q&A section on the Electronic Share Certificate System (Japanese) page on the Financial Services Agency website.

A special account is an account opened at a trust bank or another financial institution (usually the shareholder registry administrator) by the share issuing company in order to preserve the right of the shareholder concerning share certificates not deposited with the JASDEC when shifting to the electronic share certificate system. Note that this account is not a trading account used to sell shares. To sell shares recorded in a special account, you will need to open a trading account with a securities company in your name in advance to transfer the balance of shares. Further, it takes around three weeks to open a special account after converting to electronic share certificates. Share transfer procedures cannot be completed during this time.

If you have opened an account with a securities company, please contact that company for more information.
Please inquire with the shareholder registry administrator concerning shares managed in a special account.
