IPO Intelligently

We can combine practical and professional support with our market-leading technology to manage your board meetings, annual report content, insider lists, disclosure requirements and legal entity compliance, to help maintain your governance framework. The scope of this support depends on your needs. For global companies, this can often include the complete outsourcing of your global managed services for entity management.

We have decades of experience delivering shareholder services, offering technology-enabled solutions and professional services tailored to your needs – all delivered with enhanced security.

Your dedicated account team will guide you through your first annual meeting – which can be an in-person, virtual or hybrid event. We will work with you to ensure your meeting meets the correct requirements and guarantee the votes are collated with accuracy and timing. If required, you can have access to online vote reporting which is updated intraday – a service unique to Computershare.

Whether you need help with a discretionary plan or an all-employee stock purchase plan, we administer the solution that is right for your company while providing your employees with convenient access to their holdings; real time trading and 24/7 telephony support from the UK.

Our in-house experts at Georgeson (a Computershare company) will guide you through your first annual general meeting. They can advise you on how to engage with your shareholders ahead of time and how they are likely to vote. Georgeson can also help you anticipate what proxy advisors will think of your annual meeting agenda and map out how investors have voted in the final days before the voting deadline. If you were to face off against a shareholder activist, Georgeson would be your partner in defending you from an activist’s approach.
