How can you acquire Desjardins Capital régional et coopératif shares? 

The only authorized points of purchase for these shares are participating caisse Desjardins branches. In order to become a shareholder, you must go through the following steps:

CONTACT an authorized representative at any caisse Desjardins. To find out which caisse Desjardins is closest to you, call 1 800-caisses or visit www.desjardins.com for the caisses in your region (in French only).

THOROUGHLY FILL OUT and SIGN the registration form given by the authorised representative.

TRANSACT a payment to cover administrative fees (in the case of your first purchase), as well as the amount you are choosing to invest.

RETAIN a copy of the registration form, as well as a short form propectus.

Following this step, you will receive (at the mailing address indicated on the registration form), a detailed statement confirming your purchase of shares. Regular statements will be sent to you twice a year reporting the progress of your shares for the periods ending June 30 and December 31. These statements will serve as share certificates.

You will also receive the Relevé 26, to be declared on your income taxes. If you have purchased shares before December 31, you will receive this form in February. For purchases made in January and February, you will receive the form at the end of March.

As well, at least 30 days before the company's Annual General Meeting, which must be held within four months following the end of the fiscal year, you will receive a Notice of Meeting accompanied by condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31. Please note that shareholders who cannot be present at the Annual General Meeting can nominate a proxy of their choice by filling out the proxy form included with the Notice of Meeting.
