Capital markets plumbing, run by market operators.

The core register, run as a modern book-entry operation: recording transactions, electronic certificate and book-entry processing, DRS statements, issuing certificates where still required, and processing investor mailings — with online shareholder access and real-time issuer reporting.

Corporate actions are executions. A reverse split, a merger consideration, a tender, an exchange offer — each is an execution with a settlement obligation. We plan them like a desk plans a large order: backwards from the moment the position must be right.

Exchange, paying, escrow, and warrant agency services, alongside name changes and CUSIP administration — run against exchange notice calendars as a discipline: the NYSE ten-day record date notice, the ten-minute dividend announcement rule, and Nasdaq's notice framework for record dates, reverse splits, and issuances.

A transfer agent should never be the reason a deal waits. What we offer a syndicate desk and an ECM team is closing-day certainty: shares issued and positioned on time, DWAC and escrow mechanics coordinated in advance, opening-day DRS positions clean, and a direct line to a decision-maker rather than a ticket queue.

EST has executed some of the largest crowdfunded IPOs on the Street, and serves issuers across the full arc from first listing to follow-on.

This is EST's home field. We have executed some of the largest crowdfunded IPOs on the Street and have the technology and infrastructure to onboard tens of thousands of holders in a single offering — from purpose-built Regulation CF transfer agent services to DTC-eligibility and exchange-listing support for Reg A issuers.

Full-service EDGAR and XBRL filings through our SEC-registered filings agent and partner, coordinated end to end by EST.

Electronic proxy voting, shareholder management, proxy mailings and distributions, master tabulator and inspector of election services — so annual and special meetings land cleanly, with a defensible record.

Co-agent services for Canadian issuers and domestic issuers requiring a DTC FAST agent: AML/KYC compliance, OFAC screening, same-day DTC attestations coordinated with the major Canadian transfer agents, and daily reconciliations.

Legend placement and removal with clean documentation, Rule 144 workflows, opinion coordination, and restricted stock mechanics — papered so your associates are not reconstructing the register at midnight. You interpret; we execute.

Dividend distribution and reinvestment programs — stock and cash — built the way the payee's broker expects them, with record dates treated as market events. Escheatment compliance across all fifty states, including the state-by-state nuances that make unclaimed property a genuine trap for the unwary.

Customized equity-based compensation plan administration for privately held companies building toward the public markets — so the cap table is clean long before the S-1 is filed.
