When your benefit ends
Your Associate Stock Purchase Plan account will remain open until you decide to close it. However, your account will be closed automatically if you terminate employment and there are no shares or fractional shares in your account.
If you have an Associate Stock Purchase Plan account, you can:
- Keep your account open and make voluntary cash purchases with no broker's fee;
- Close your account and receive all full shares in certificate form and a check for any partial share ownership; or
- Close your account and sell all the shares in your account.
