GM does not issue stock certificates. Rather, GM uses a form of registered stock ownership called book entry or Direct Registration Profile System (DRS). The book-entry owners of the security are registered on the books of the company and, in lieu of certificates, shareholders receive statements of holding. Book-entry ownership is more convenient for investors because it eliminates the risk of lost or stolen certificates and the cost to replace the lost or stolen certificates, and the sale or transfer of the stock is simplified.
