Notice Concerning the Valida-
tion of internally issued Secu-
rities in Austria.
For the purpose of restoring an
orderly state of affairs with regard
to the internal securities issued in
Austria the Ministry of Finance has
been empowered, in terms of the
Austrian Securities Validation Law,
Federal Gazette No. 188/54, to call
up by announcement in the official
notice column of the Wiener Zeitung
those Austrian Schillings and Reichs-
mark securities, issued in Anstria,
for which a validation procedure is
deemed necessary.
Securities, deemed to be subject to
this validation procedure, require to
be registered with one of the follow-
ing registration offices:—
Creditanstalt —Bankverein,
Schottengasse, 6, Vienna I.
Osterreichische Landerbank A.
G. Am Hof 2, Vienna I.
Osterreichische Credit-Institut
A. G. Herrengasse 2, Vienna I.
within six months of the date of the
notice of their call up in the Wiener
Zeitung.
Securities, subject to validation
procedure, which are not submitted
in accordance with the detailed
provisions of the law to one of the
above-named registration offices,
within the stipulated time limit,
become invalid on the expiration of
the time limit.
Persons, who have not already
deposited their internal Austrian Se-
curities, either directly or indirectly,
with an Austrian Bank, are recom-
mended, in their own interest, to
contact immediately, either their
own bank or one of the the three
Austrian banks mentioned above, for
the purpose of registering the securi-
ties, or a claim to such securities, in
the prescribed manner within the
time limits imposed, and for infor-
mation as to whether a security issue
has heen already officially called up
for validation, and, if so, the date
of the expiration of the stipulated
time limit, and also as to whether,
as a result of an official pronounce-
ment, a security issue has been
declared exempt from the validation
procedure.
Subject to compliance with foreign
exchange regulations the securities
may also be forwarded directly for
registration to one of the three
Austrian banks named above. How-
ever, in this case the respective
Austrian bank requires to be specifi-
cally empowered to carry through in
the name of, and for the account of,
the owner of the security, all the

Notice Concerning the Valida-
tion of internally issued Secu-
rities in Austria.
For the purpose of restoring an
orderly state of affairs with regard
to the internal securities issued in
Austria the Ministry of Finance has
been empowered, in terms of the
Austrian Securities Validation Law,
Federal Gazette No. 188/54, to call
up by announcement in the official
notice column of the Wiener Zeitung
those Austrian Schillings and Reichs-
mark securities, issued in Anstria,
for which a validation procedure is
deemed necessary.
Securities, deemed to be subject to
this validation procedure, require to
be registered with one of the follow-
ing registration offices:—
Creditanstalt —Bankverein,
Schottengasse, 6, Vienna I.
Osterreichische Landerbank A.
G. Am Hof 2, Vienna I.
Osterreichische Credit-Institut
A. G. Herrengasse 2, Vienna I.
within six months of the date of the
notice of their call up in the Wiener
Zeitung.
Securities, subject to validation
procedure, which are not submitted
in accordance with the detailed
provisions of the law to one of the
above-named registration offices,
within the stipulated time limit,
become invalid on the expiration of
the time limit.
Persons, who have not already
deposited their internal Austrian Se-
curities, either directly or indirectly,
with an Austrian Bank, are recom-
mended, in their own interest, to
contact immediately, either their
own bank or one of the the three
Austrian banks mentioned above, for
the purpose of registering the securi-
ties, or a claim to such securities, in
the prescribed manner within the
time limits imposed, and for infor-
mation as to whether a security issue
has heen already officially called up
for validation, and, if so, the date
of the expiration of the stipulated
time limit, and also as to whether,
as a result of an official pronounce-
ment, a security issue has been
declared exempt from the validation
procedure.
Subject to compliance with foreign
exchange regulations the securities
may also be forwarded directly for
registration to one of the three
Austrian banks named above. How-
ever, in this case the respective
Austrian bank requires to be specifi-
cally empowered to carry through in
the name of, and for the account of,
the owner of the security, all the
