Dividend checks will be sent to your address of record unless you instruct otherwise. If you would like to have your checks electronically deposited to your bank, please complete the Automatic Deposit Authorization Form and return to Computershare to the address listed on the form.

Non-U.S. shareholders: You can sign up to have the dividends paid in your local currency - either by check or by wire. Please view the list on the request form to ensure that your country participates in this service, as not all countries do. Computershare will deduct the fee from the dividend payment - $5 for checks, $10 for wires. If the dividend is too small to cover the fees, you will receive a default U.S. dollar check instead. Please complete the International Currency Payment Registration Form and return to Shareholder Relations via email to elizabeth.hausoul@cmegroup.com.

If you have lost a dividend check or would like to confirm that you have received and cashed all of your dividend checks, please contact Computershare for status of your account.
