Transfer agent services for your IPO

Computershare leads in US direct listings, including expertise in reverse stock splits, class consolidation, and DTC eligibility. Our team understands the complexity and time-sensitive nature of these transactions. They ensure timely communication to holders and share delivery to brokers for market listing.

Computershare is an experienced Transfer Agent supporting Capital Pool Companies (CPCs) and shell companies across the Canadian public markets, providing scalable solutions tailored to each issuer’s structure, transaction complexity, and growth stage. We help manage the full lifecycle—from CPC IPO through pre‑Qualifying Transaction (QT) readiness and execution‑driven transactions for shell companies—delivering accurate records, timely security movements, expert corporate action support, and seamless coordination with advisors.

Our IPO experts coordinate document requirements and work with equity plan administrators, company contacts or counsel to deliver shares from initial investors and RSU vestings at IPO. Clients can open an omnibus account to hold shares to be delivered to a plan provider for streamlined delivery. Our teams can also deliver seamless early or day-one lockup releases if required.

We work closely with issuers to support dual-class and multi-class share structures commonly used in the Canadian public markets, as well as complex cross-border structures involving listings on multiple exchanges. Our team provides meticulous recordkeeping across all share classes and delivers a seamless experience for shareholders requesting exchanges between non-trading and trading classes. With a focus on accuracy, efficiency, and responsive service, we help ensure these structures operate smoothly for both issuers and their investors.
