INVESTOR ID SERVICES

Institutional Investor Identification Services

Identifying the Institutions and Schedule 13(d) investors (holders of 5% or more of a class of shares) in your Shareholder Base is critical- who are they? What do they want? What are their expectations? Are they affiliated with other Institutions or entities within our base?

Knowing the answer to these questions is not only important at the time of your Meeting, but year round identification keeps the lines of communications open and can help avoid unforeseen challenges in the future.

 Laurel Hill offers quarterly reports, in conjunction with Institutional and Schedule 13(d) filings that identify these investors, and our reports include contact information at these Institutions. While many C-Suite execs pride themselves on knowing the Investor at the Institution, but having contact information for the people that actually cast the votes is key. Laurel Hill can offer guidance in a good outreach program, and assist in setting up informational calls to keep these investors abreast of key developments at your company which may not be apparent otherwise.

When Institutional Investor Services (ISS) or Glass Lewis, the Proxy Advisory firms to Institutional Investors, offer a negative recommendation on one of your proposals, having the investor information beforehand is key to refuting or reversing the effect. Laurel Hill can assist in crafting a response to the negative recommendation, and facilitate contacting the Institutions themselves to offer more information for an informed decision.
