When you select American Stock Transfer & Trust as your transfer agent, you've done more than acquire a service provider - you've gained a partner, one who works diligently to help you succeed. In the process of researching this all-important decision - to whom you will trust your shareholder transactions - you should consider several factors. Performance and price are among the most important factors, and AST is certain that we will exceed your expectations on both.

However, what we pride ourselves on, frankly, is our concept of partnership. Our experienced staff has been immersed in the stock transfer business for over 30 years. The services we offer you are not ancillary to a larger business; they are our exclusive business. That's why we are confident in our knowledge and expertise. It is important to you that when you become our client, every member of our team becomes a member of yours. Unlike large, impersonal banks, each and every person at AST is available to you whenever needed. And when you have a specific concern, you won't get the bureaucratic run around. Everyone, from our president to our operations specialists, is only a phone call away.
