Continental Transfer & Trust Draws its Passion for Excellence from the Company’s Highest Office
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.
