Ask any public company CEO and he
or she will likely tell you that their stock transfer agent plays a pivotal
role in their investor efforts through the issuance of securities and
subsequent transfers that result in sales, purchases, reorganizations, tender
offers, and other transfers of ownership. More specifically, stock transfer
agents are involved in issuing stock certificates that reflect increases in the
number of outstanding shares such as initial issuance, stock splits, stock
dividends and dividend reinvestment programs. With issued shares being traded
on the open market, stock certificates are sent to the transfer agent who will
cancel the shares registered in the name of the seller and issue a stock
certificate registered in the name of the buyer. Vital to transactions
involving the transfer of securities is the maintenance of accurate ownership
records with regard to issued securities, since it is the registered owners of
the securities who enjoy the ownership rights. It is the responsibility of the
transfer agent to maintain up to date records in this area.
Company’s such as Continental
Transfer & Trust, New York, NY, have embodied and defined the industry
standard for professionalism, integrity and trust for more than a half century.
The company coddles its customer with impeccably accurate, personal service
that results in a sense of confidence and peace of mind that can only be termed
invaluable. What’s more, companies do not achieve the enviable status
Continental enjoys by accident. It is accomplished through a steadfast belief
and passion that stems from the company’s leadership – and in this case, one
does not need look further than the office of President and Chairman, Steven
Nelson.
Possessing more than three decades
of direct industry experience, Mr. Nelson employs a ‘hands-on’ approach
uncommon these days from any company’s highest ranking executive. His
involvement extends into day-to-day organizational and administrative issues
through the overall management of client initiatives. An attorney by trade with
a background in public and private practice, he is a member of the New York
State and Federal Bars. He has practiced at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, and
as a federal prosecutor. Steven is a member of the Securities Transfer Association
Board, and chairs its Legal Committee, which is active in promoting important
changes within the industry. Graduating magna cum laude from Brandeis
University at Waltham, Massachusetts, he is a past recipient of Law Review
honors from NYU Law School.
Founded in 1964 to support small to
midsize emerging companies, Continental aims for the highest level of client
responsiveness through a uniquely customized set of business solutions. The
company has embraced and maintained this vision and commitment to this specific
market throughout its history.
