THE NEXT-GEN 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.1
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.
