TRANSFER AGENT:

DO MORE WITH A MULTI-TALENTED ENTERPRISE

Your business world continues to evolve in scope and complexity, with good governance taking on even greater strategic importance. With current market pressures, you’re also facing unprecedented risks, being asked to do more with less and find innovative ways to save money.

What if you had one service provider who understands your challenges, can offer advice and take tasks off your plate? Who could provide more than transfer agent services, but also the additional capabilities to assist you in managing corporate governance, changes to your corporate structure, entity compliance and more across your organization?

At Computershare, our governance and compliance expertise can help your business

meet critical regulatory and compliance obligations.

An independent study rated Computershare the #1 transfer agent in overall satisfaction for managing shareholder services for issuers with more than 2,500 shareholders.

Improve Your Transfer Agent Services

Transfer agent services are the core of our business – we’ve been the largest global transfer agent for 40+

years, serving more than 6,000 U.S. companies and over 75 million shareholders worldwide. But that’s not all.

To ensure your data is secure, we spend considerable time, money and energy on maintaining and upgrading our technologies, and have a solid business continuity plan. To support companies like yours, we reinvest nearly 12% of our annual revenue into R&D. This investment enables you to connect with your shareholders in their preferred format, including text messaging, and offer voting at annual meetings via text.

You may be surprised that when it comes to helping your company reduce risk and improve resiliency, not all transfer agents are equal. A multi-talented service provider with domain expertise across a broad range of services can deliver more than just transfer agent offerings.

Prepare for ESG, Board Diversity and Activist Investors

Working with Computershare, you will have access to environmental, social and governance (ESG) frameworks, ratings and organizations to help your company navigate the issues that will impact your long-term performance strategy. As more organizations are implementing board diversity requirements, we can offer guidance to help you make better decisions in company oversight.

With the activism landscape constantly changing, your company is more exposed to significant governance and reputational risk.

We can assist you in preparing your executives and board of directors to address activists and better control your outcomes.

Close Corporate M&A Events

When your company has possible mergers, acquisitions

or other corporate actions on the horizon, you want

an experienced vendor who can simplify and manage

every detail of your transaction, no matter how

complex. Computershare’s broad capabilities include

meeting services and proxy solicitation, escrow,

shareholder communications, unclaimed property

services, escheat compliance and more. Our secure

Corporate Actions Web Portal simplifies the process,

enabling companies to save time, reduce errors and

help shareholders receive their proceeds faster.

Conduct Virtual Annual Meetings

This year, annual shareholder meetings had to quickly pivot from in-person to virtual. At Computershare, we have vast experience delivering virtual and hybrid meetings. Our virtual meeting solutions are secure and user-friendly, offering the interactions of an in-person meeting, in an online environment.

Streamline Your Entity Management

Computershare’s GEMS Global Entity Management System™ solution provides a single, online repository for all your entities across the country and around the globe.

It centralizes the administration of corporate data and documents to manage your business transactions, meet filing deadlines and improve reporting. You and your team can quickly access the critical information you need, and you can be confident the data is accurate and up to date.

GEMS Global Entity Management System solution is a trademark of Computershare.

Integrate Registered Agent Services

If your company is doing business in the U.S., you must have a registered agent in every state in which you operate to receive important service of process documents. Your company may already have a registered agent, but instead of spending extra time and money managing multiple vendors, why not choose an experienced registered agent who also offers a wider range of services?

With Computershare, your registered agent services will be part of the GEMS™ platform. When you have structural changes such as adding a new entity, your dedicated account manager can prepare and file the necessary documents and will set it up in the GEMS™ solution database.

Filing annual reports can be a time-consuming process and

you want to know it is being done right. Computershare can

take this task off your hands, tracking deadlines, pulling

the required information from your database (no more

spreadsheets!), preparing and filing your annual reports.

Obtain Business Licenses

Depending on your business or industry, filing, tracking and renewing business licenses can be a cumbersome job. The different regulations across local, state and federal jurisdictions adds to the complexity. When you expand your business to offer new services or add an entity, this is even more work for your already overstretched staff. Choose a partner that can offer this service as part of their overall solution portfolio.

When you choose Computershare, you will be set for success — working with a provider who can cut the confusion, provide clear direction, and has managed some of the largest M&A events in recent history.

When it comes to selecting a transfer agent, do you want a provider who only offers this one service or an enterprise that is multi-talented with experts specializing in each of the business areas your company needs and can offer you more?

The choice is clear.
