Shepherding emerging/growth,
small to midsized companies through the complex process of going public
requires a special set of precision competencies, the mastery of which has
helped set Continental Stock Transfer & Trust apart from the competition in
the emerging IPO space for years now as the premiere stock transfer agent of
choice. Offering a full-spectrum suite of customized services, executed by a
team sporting 24/7-available senior-level managers, assembled from the cream of
the industry crop over the last fifty years, Continental stands today as the
only major transfer agent actually specializing in emerging companies (with
literally hundreds of IPOs and secondary offerings under their belt) and they
are the undisputed industry leader in handling comprehensive Special Purpose
Acquisition Company (SPAC) processing.
Continental’s unique
reputation for successfully carrying nearly all the SPACs that have come to
market since 1990 through to fruition (in excess of $15B raised) is a sound
testament to the company’s ability for guiding clients through this often
nebulous and confusing process. From a rigorous pre-offering strategy featuring
real-time share/shareholder tracking and Direct Registration System eligibility
compliance, to crucial post-IPO support like fully organizing annual
meetings/proxies, handling dividend outlays, providing round-the-clock
issuer/shareholder online access, doing dividend reinvestment, or handling tasks
like employee stock purchase and direct repurchase planning, Continental
delivers a seamless support envelope to address every need. The company is
widely known throughout the industry today for top-shelf services at
value-conscious prices and their proficiency in the SPAC game, where they
provide everything from the basic transfer agent record keeping and issuance
duties, to trustee, warrant, and escrow agent services, is unparalleled.
The tedious protocols that
must be observed to ensure that all applicable state and federal laws are
satisfied with regard to planning of an annual meeting really need to be left
to seasoned pros like the folks at Continental. Firmly established for a
winning track record of proxy card and material design, Continental is far more
than circumspect, they are capable of producing extremely attractive materials
that engage and impress. Getting necessary documents into an online version,
providing web hosting services, Continental does it all and they even provide a
set of phone/internet voting, as well as proxy tabulation services, enabling
the generation of a tight user feedback loop. Various aspects of an annual
meeting must be attended to continually throughout the year and Continental has
become quite proficient at taking away all the stress involved. With
field-proven, dedicated annual meeting and proxy personnel that work
hand-in-hand with the client account admin, Continental is able to assure
levels of quality at prices that simply cannot be matched.
The company’s ControlBook
Reporting issuer platform is a simple, yet intuitive, client-based system that
gives issuers real-time situational awareness of and control over all classes
of shares, irrespective of the time of day. Its tools like ControlBook that
have continued to make Continental the transfer agent of choice for emerging
companies. Continental’s understanding of the heavily nuanced in and outs of
the ever-changing SEC regulatory landscape, especially when it comes to
delivering squeaky-clean, well-formatted EDGAR/XBRL filings, really complements
how the company works directly with client accountants/audit team members in
order to devise tailored data gathering/presentation solutions.
Continental is a private,
family-owned company and they are currently the fourth largest agent in the
U.S. with about 1.1k public issuers on the roster (some 2.5M shareholder
accounts). The company has placed number one in industry-wide surveys of the
top stock transfer agents in North America for several years running and they
have ranked as the lowest-priced major agent for over a decade, handling the
mid-cap/micro-cap space like none other.
