Access to ClientOnline
When you are authorised by a client to access ClientOnline, BoardRoom will provide you with a username (also referred to as a Login ID) and a password. You will be asked to change your password when you first log in. You cannot change your username.

You agree to keep your account details (username and password) confidential and not to share them with any other person. You must notify us immediately if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account details.
What you can do through ClientOnline
Through ClientOnline you can obtain and view certain information for holdings. This includes the following:
- You may query a client’s register(s) of securityholders or employee equity plan participants and obtain details in relation to securityholders or employee equity plan participants such as registered address, the election recorded in respect of any dividend plan or dividend payment method, and the number of securities held.
- You may produce reports in relation to holdings, and access reports that you have previously produced.

- verifying information provided by you or on your behalf; or
- your acting on information pertaining to the number of securities registered in holdings at the time you make an enquiry, where you have not taken into account any change to that number that is still to be recorded (for example, if a sale or purchase has been undertaken but has not yet been recorded in the register).
