Hi SmilingDog,
I am a German-based NMT holder and have received my WIN shares. I also participated the capital rise and received the additional shares.
In Germany it depends with which bank or broker you hold your shares. Most of those use an AU custodian for the safekeeping of shares. This is why in the share register of the AU company only the AU custodian is registered, who holds shares on behalf of clients (as a nominee).

Of course there are also some brokers that give you direct access on the AU market without intermediaries. In such a case you will find yourself in the share register of the company, and the Company could find out that as a non-AU resident your are not entitled to receive the shares.

This doesn’t answer your question directly, but gives you at least an information how it works.

I assume that most of the German non-institutional holders use the way via the Nominee as described above.
