Peter Duggan, the firm’s Senior Vice President, talks us through the company and the services it provides. Computershare are the largest transfer agency service provider for publicly traded companies, having taken our expertise and proprietary, in-house technology to create a solution that address the needs of the alternative investment markets; including share valuation, subscription processing and period statements with valuation disclosure. As an industry leader, we are involved in many industry organizations and maintain more than 6,000 client relationships - more than 1000 of these are microcap/private companies. We are uniquely positioned to assist clients in their journey from start-up private placement through the emerging growth stage, all the way to publicly listing and trading. We provide processing services for all types of corporate events such as mergers, acquisitions, stock splits and tender offers. Our experience allows us to support a wide spectrum of needs for our client companies throughout their business lifecycle. Working within such a highly competitive industry we need to diversify ourselves from our competitors. What sets us apart is our history and commitment to transfer agency as a core business. Computershare has the expertise to help clients large and small with any level of complexity. We are uniquely positioned to support private issuers and non-traded REITs in all aspects of the corporate lifecycle; from seed round through to IPO, merger/acquisition activity and corporate governance obliga- tions. Computershare currently maintains records for hundreds of private issuers, but moving forward we anticipate increased activity as more issuers seek to raise funds using Regulation A+ which requires them to utilize a registered transfer agent such as Computershare. In addition, we have already seen an increase in filings for Regulation D private placements and are expecting a very significant uptick of Regulation CF (crowdfunding) offering following the May 16 live date for that regu- lation. Our dedicated private markets group was formed to serve the needs of these types of issuers and their investors. We look forward to participating in this new arena for capital formation and business growth and the exciting opportunities this will bring. Best for Global Shareholder & Stock Transfer Services
