Exercises and Transactions

How do I sell or transact on my shares?

Click on the Portfolio tab. On the Share Purchase and Holdings tab, locate the required stock option purchase plan. If your plan permits in-service withdrawals, on the right you will see the word Withdraw or Transact beside the plan details. Click the link to begin the online withdrawal process.

If you have had a grant vest that contains Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) you can sell or withdraw them directly from your stock plan account. You can also sell any shares you have in your savings plan.

You will see the net proceeds in your account within two to five business days, depending on the delivery method.
