Critical, timely execution ensures your corporate transactions complete successfully — our team of industry specialists works alongside you throughout the duration of your transaction, focusing on the details to provide prompt, accurate and personalized service.

Debt trusteeship services

We act as an indenture trustee for all types of debt instruments. As debt trustee, we act as registrar, distribute interest and redemption payments, and prepare tax reporting.

Project finance & public-private partnerships (P3)

Our team of experienced professionals understands what you require in a trust service provider, and delivers solutions that maximize the value of your P3 and project financing transactions.

Subscription receipt services

We act as a subscription receipt agent, issuing and maintaining the register of subscription receipt holders, and as escrow agent for the subscription proceeds.

Escrow services

We remain a trustworthy and independent agent, offering third-party escrow services and solutions to both public and private companies, including Special Purpose Acquisition Companies.

Warrant services

We act for companies that offer public or private placement warrant issues. As warrant agent, we maintain the register of holders and facilitate exercises over the life of the warrants.

Voting & exchange trustee services

We act as trustee under voting and exchange trust agreements, administering the rights of beneficial holders in accordance with agreement terms.

Transfer services

A comprehensive range of securities transfer and registrar services, supported by an experienced professional team and dedicated transfer facilities. Our approach is customized to your specific requirements, offering innovative solutions and reliable delivery beyond all standard functions.

As an agent, we maintain securityholder lists, control the stated capital and effect transfers. We liaise with clearing and depository services, the broker community and investors to fulfil their requirements. Treasury directions are treated with the urgency demanded for regular issuances and stock option exercises, or to complete a transaction at closing. We administer mandated escrow functions and process releases as dictated by the agreement, and we act as an agent providing registry services for Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) shares, warrants and rights offerings.

Our value extends beyond record-keeping: our client website provides detailed, customizable reports and advanced search and filtering capabilities, and we ensure that onboarding is smooth and efficient.

Investor services

Direct support for investors and their representatives

We provide a direct information line for investors or their representatives; respond to written inquiries; replace lost certificates; assist with legal transfers of securities; and receive and update investor addresses and tax identification numbers.

Disbursement

Disbursement services

We help navigate the most complex transactions, policies and regulations that companies face. Any solution we develop adheres to two important principles: accuracy and timeliness.

We act as the disbursement agent for dividends and other entitlement payments, in either cash — across different currencies as required — or securities, and offer EFT services, including payment processing and solicitation of new accounts.
