Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What is an escrow agent, and why use one?
An escrow agent is a neutral third party that holds cash, securities, documents or other assets in line with a transaction's contractual terms — releasing them only once agreed conditions are met. It gives investors and companies a trusted intermediary that protects assets during indemnification, performance or tax-withholding arrangements, particularly in mergers and acquisitions.
Is Wygant Ltd affiliated with a bank or law firm?
No. We are a privately held, independent provider and are not affiliated with any bank, lending institution, law firm or investment advisory firm. That independence minimizes the likelihood of conflicts of interest for the transactions we administer.
What kinds of transactions do you support?
Our services support mergers and acquisitions, private placements, debt issuances, IP and software escrows, litigation settlements, subscription receipts, warrant programs and Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) structures, among others.
How do I access my account online?
Existing clients and securityholders can use the Client Login portal to review holdings, payments and dividend reinvestment transactions, download documents, vote a proxy online and find answers to frequently asked questions.
Where is Wygant Ltd based, and do you work cross-border?
We are based in Dubai, U.A.E., and provide depositary, transfer and disbursement services on both domestic and cross-border transactions for public and private companies.
