Our technology allows seamless integration between our clients, their shareholders and the brokerage community to manage and track equity ownership in real time. STCAccess, our online platform, grants your shareholders and internal team access to reports and information to help track ownership, dividend history, and relevant tax forms.
STC supports fully electronic ownership structures in book entry, DRS, or fractional share ownership as well as more traditional formats that include issuing and tracking physical certificates. We also assist with replacing lost certificates for shareholders of our clients.

Our paying agent services provide a comprehensive and compliant outsourced solution that includes the accuracy of electronic payment processing, the administration of fully reconciled bank accounts, and the management of handling escheatment issues. STC also prepares, files, and delivers tax forms on behalf of its dividend paying clients.Corporate Actions
Whether you are listed on a national exchange or on the over the counter markets, we have experience with handling corporate actions. In addition to obtaining new CUSIP numbers for the corporate action, we help coordinate with FINRA or the relevant exchange to ensure that your stock split, name change or dividend proceeds in a timely and compliant manner.
Annual Meeting and Shareholder Communications
STC has performed proxy agent and annual meeting support services for over 30 years. Our familiarity with the rules and regulations allows us to deliver broad support to your proxy campaign. From reporting your record date to the brokerage community, to filing, printing and mailing your proxy materials, to delivering your final voting certification, our solutions are customized to your specific needs and help support a successful experience for you and your shareholders. In addition to traditional proxy mailing, we offer the ability to create an e-campaign complete with targeted delivery of materials direct to shareholder inboxes, web hosting for proxy materials and online voting including virtual annual meeting support.Plan Administration
STC helps clients administer a wide range of incentive and ownership plans including Dividend Reinvestment Plans, Employee Stock Purchase Plans, Restricted Stock Awards, and Employee Stock Option Plans.

Our experience of managing all aspects of these plans on behalf of participants and plan managers makes us a valuable partner in their administration.
