Global Share Alliance Grows with Addition of North American Share Registrars

The
Global Share Alliance has expanded with the addition of North American
share registrars American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, Canadian
Stock Transfer Company, as well as Wells Fargo Shareowner Services.

The
alliance, which was founded by Equiniti, Link Market Services and
Tricor in 2011, represents over 40 million shareholders worldwide. It
supports international organisations that require share registration and
employee share plan services in multiple countries using a single
platform.

John
Parker, chairman of the Global Share Alliance and managing director of
Equiniti Shareholder Solutions, said: “The alliance was established to
facilitate a holistic approach to corporate actions and all the
necessary supporting services.

“With
growing numbers of UK employers expanding their operations into
multiple countries, we have continued to see increased demand for
commonality of support internationally.

“The
addition of these new North American partners means that the alliance
can provide employers with the widest possible coverage.”
