If your shares are managed by Boardroom and you’re ready to sell, Unbroker offers a fast, simple, and compliant way to complete a one‑off issuer-sponsored (SRN) sale — without opening a full trading account or navigating outdated paper forms.

About Boardroom Holdings and Why People Sell
Boardroom is a long‑standing registry provider servicing a broad range of ASX‑listed companies. Many shareholders acquire issuer‑sponsored shares over time through various events, and the company they invested in appoints or moves to Boardroom as its registry provider.
As a result, it’s common to see Boardroom‑managed holdings that:
- Have been held for many years without trading
- Sit outside a broker account as issuer‑sponsored shares
- Were inherited as part of a deceased estate
- Originated from IPO allocations, DRPs, rights issues, or employee share plans
- Were accumulated through company actions and left untouched
Often, these parcels remain dormant until something prompts action — an estate matter, a portfolio clean‑up, or a decision to close off older investments.
Issuer‑sponsored shares sit on the issuer‑sponsored subregister and are identified by an SRN (Security Reference Number).
Boardroom maintains the registry records, while the shares continue to trade on the ASX like any other listed security.

What You’ll Need to Sell Boardroom‑Managed Shares with Unbroker
1. Your Holding Details
Your holding details will appear on your Boardroom holding statement.
If your dividend statement does not show this number — or if the number starts with an “S” or is only around six digits long — it is not your actual SRN. We may still be able to help you sell your shares. Start the process here.

2. 100 Points of ID for each registered shareholder
