United States mail to the apparent owner is returned to the holder undelivered by

communication not later than two years after the apparent owner's last indication of
interest in the security. However, the holder promptly shall attempt to contact the

c. The apparent owner does not respond to the electronic-mail communication not
later than thirty days after the communication was sent.

undelivered by the United States postal service, the security is presumed abandoned
three years after the date the mail is returned.
