Computershare Limited (ASX:CPU) today announces that it has acquired the transfer agency business of National City Bank (National City), of Cleveland, Ohio, a subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (NYSE: PNC).

Initial consideration of USD16.2 million was paid in cash. Additional consideration may be paid depending on revenue generated by the acquired business over the next 12 months.

The acquisition will have an immediately positive impact on Group earnings per share, but that uplift is not expected to be material.

The acquired business provides transfer agency services to 155 companies, and maintains approximately 500,000 shareholder accounts. It also provides stock purchase and employee plan services.

The purchase of the National City transfer agency business, which is funded from internal cash resources, continues Computershare’s strategy of identifying and executing on reasonably priced opportunities to consolidate markets in which it operates.

Client migrations will take place over the next several months.
