Be sure to tell Computershare that you want book shares and not plan shares. Book insures that they are exclusively in your name and they cannot be used by Computershare to help them with balancing their purchases and sales.

Thank you for posting this information. Very helpful! I just requested all my shares to be converted to Book. I never cease to be amazed by how much I can learn from fellow anons.
Can people buy GME directly from ComputerShare or does one have to go through a broker?

You can purchase directly through ComputerShare and then convert them to Book to be 100% in your name only.

My shares are in ComputerShare. How can I tell if they are in my name only?
They say book or plan.
You want book.
I am looking at my Compershare statement, from them. I do not see Book or plan anywhere. Where should I look? Should I just call them?
Log into your account (or create your account if you havent already) at https://www-us.computershare.com/Investor/#Home
As soon as you login you should see your shares held at ComputerShare. Right next to them it will say Book or Plan.
If you prefer to do it over phone, you can do that too. Guide below gives you multiple ways to ensure you are in BOOK and not in Plan.
