Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company Unrivaled in Growth and Emerging IPOs/Offerings by Virtue of Customized, Full-Spectrum Service
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.
