Subject:	Computershare to acquire Canadian transfer agency business

Computershare Limited (ASX: CPU) has agreed terms for the acquisition of Valiant Trust Company assets (“VTC”) from Canadian Western Bank (TSX:CWB) for a maximum consideration of CAD 33 million should revenue retention thresholds be met. The purchase includes the transfer agency, corporate trust and employee plans services business of VTC across Canada, and is expected to close early May 2015. Annual normalised revenues for VTC are approximately CAD 8 million.

VTC provides transfer agency, corporate trust and employee share plan services across the Canadian market and has around 450 issuer clients. Computershare expects to achieve synergies consistent with those achieved with previous transactions of a similar nature.

Stuart Irving, Chief Executive Officer of Computershare said, “We continue to seize acquisition opportunities in our existing verticals when they arise. We are excited about this opportunity to extend our services in the Canadian market. Given our expertise in integrating businesses like this, VTC’s clients can be sure that they will experience a seamless transition and continuing high levels of service going forward.”
