Unfortunately, giving stock as a gift isn’t easy. Then again, becoming a Navy SEAL or a Green Beret isn’t easy. Defending our country isn’t easy. Killing Bin Laden wasn’t easy.  But you can do it. Because great Americans can do great things! We have to follow some strict securities laws that make this complicated.  But this is what the process will look like if you would like to give a gift of Armed Forces Brewing Company shares: The person you give the gift to must be at least 21 years old. You must buy the stock first to give it as a gift. Just like anyone else, you will fill out the online investment application in your name after clicking the INVEST button and pay for the Armed Forces Brewing Company stock. After your shares have been issued to you (typically 1-2 weeks after you apply depending on when your funds are received and if additional info is needed from you) you can get a form from our SEC-registered transfer agent – Colonial. Colonial’s job is to manage the shares of our company. Colonial is legally the only entity that can transfer your shares to your gift recipient. Colonial will give you a form to fill out to transfer the shares from your name to your gift recipient’s name. Please note you (or your gift recipient) will need to provide Colonial with similar private info for the gift recipient as you did when you invested – such as the recipient’s name and SSN. Colonial also charges you a $50 fee to make the transfer which you will pay them when you send them the form. You will also need to get a “Medallion Stamp” on the form which is a special stamp that’s used when you transfer securities. You can generally get this at your bank. We didn’t make up these rules, and we wish the process were easier. If you have any other questions about the gifting process, reach out to our team at commandcenter@armedforcesbrewingco.com
