Currently listed companies have great difficulty communicating directly with their ultimate shareholders and investors.
Intermediaries such as global settlement services, custodians, brokers and nominee entities make it almost impossible to determine who ultimately holds the shares in a listed company. This makes targeted communication with those shareholders extremely difficult, especially for smaller companies. Nonetheless, it is absolutely essential that listed companies can communicate easily with their shareholders regarding matters such as corporate actions (eg. rights issues), general meetings, voting situations and other strategic communications.
To address this issue Actium Corporate Finance has developed a customized online solution – the Agility Investor Platform (AIP). AIP is an online service that incorporates a specialized Contact Management System, a corporate communications platform and an investor relations environment. It is a unique service for listed companies and allows direct one-to-one communication and relationship building between a company and its ultimate shareholders. IMP is only available to Actium Corporate Finance clients.
