MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT
| Date: | 15 April 2013 |
|---|---|
| To: | Australian Securities Exchange |
| Subject: | Computershare to invest in INVeSHARE Inc |
Computershare Limited (ASX:CPU) announces that it has agreed to invest approximately USD 10 million to acquire approximately 25% of the capital of INVeSHARE Inc. Under related arrangements, Computershare has also been granted options that will allow it to move to full ownership of INVeSHARE during specified windows in 2018 or 2019 at a valuation based on the business’s financial performance at that time.
INVeSHARE provides shareholder communications services in the US market, delivering regulated shareholder materials to investors in paper and electronic form.
INVeSHARE CEO Davidi Gilo said “Computershare is an outstanding provider of investor services and uniquely positioned in the North American markets. The complementary nature of Computershare's investor communications services and INVeSHARE’s sophisticated technology services will produce tangible benefits to broker-dealers, their clients and issuers. We are very excited about this new chapter in our business evolution and are looking forward to working with our existing and prospective clients to mutual advantage”.
Computershare CEO Stuart Crosby said “INVeSHARE is building a great business, bringing exciting new ideas and offerings to an industry that has yet to fully leverage the technology advances that have characterised other financial services and communications businesses over recent years. We believe that together INVeSHARE and Computershare can change the way shareholder communications are packaged and delivered in the North American markets, giving better outcomes for financial institutions such as broker dealers and clearing firms, investors and issuers.”
