To participate in the plan, you must have at least one share of stock held in your name with Wells Fargo. Note that you cannot purchase your first share through the DRIP program.
Beneficial owners, whose shares of Apache stock are held for them in “street name” by brokers, bank nominees or trustees, are not shareholders of record; however, they can have the shares they wish to enroll in the plan transferred into their own names.
