Step 2 Enter Login and Password provided by your sales representative, then change the password as prompted.

Step 4 You will be returned to the Calendar page where you will see the auction for the auction of the Zions Series J Preferred Stock. Once there, click on the blue “Enter Bids” button to be directed to the Qualifications page.

Step 5 Each box on the Qualifications page must be checked before the “I Agree” button turns green and is clickable.

Step 6 You may now monitor the auction in real time by clicking on the Auction Details dropdown in the middle of the page.

Step 7 By selecting the Zions Series J Preferred Stock auction, you are able to view the Bid Page. You can input a bid on each of the bid lines with different combinations of units and dividend rates (each preferred share is 1 unit with $1,000 liquidation preference). Once you are satisfied that your bids are entered correctly, click “Submit”.

Step 8 After landing on the Bid Confirmation page, check to see if the bids are entered correctly by checking the “I confirm the bid shown in the table above” box, then click “Confirm” to officially submit your bids. If you are outbid at any point, a warning will appear to the right of your bids.

Step 9 After you have submitted successful bids, you may return to the Bid Page to edit these bids as the auction progresses, but only if the edits are to improve a bid (i.e., once a bid is submitted you cannot increase the dividend rate, only decrease).
