Investor Relations & Communication Programs

Our investor communication team has detailed knowledge of the information needs of investors and their advisers and of the forces that motivate them. Most companies have a limited number of opportunities each year to attract investors' attention - and we help you leverage your opportunities through effective media strategies and, when appropriate, analyst and shareholder briefings. For each client we maintain a separate database of analysts, client advisers, investors and journalists who follow the stock and need to be informed of corporate developments.

Many of our clients are mid-cap and small-cap companies which rely on us to augment their in-house resources and advise on best practice. They often ask us to assist with drafting results announcements and with guidance on continuous disclosure and on maintaining market confidence in their corporate governance procedures.

Through our strategic alliance with Maitland (www.maitland.co.uk), one of the leading financial communication firms in London and a member of the global AMO group, we also assist Australian companies with cross-border mergers and acquisitions and international exchange listings. AMO’s main offices are in New York, London, Paris, Frankfurt and Rome, with more than 200 communication professionals and well-established client and media relationships in every market.

No two investor relations programs are identical as every company has different communication objectives and needs. We therefore work with you as a team to plan and manage appropriate activities which communicate your company's investment attractions and value.

Our design group gives us a unique advantage, in that we produce prospectuses, takeover documents and annual reports in-house, enabling us to meet the tightest deadlines.

We offer an integrated service which, as required, combines:

• Investor relations and communication advice
• Media, analyst and investor contact
• Roadshows
• Telemarketing
• Direct mail
• Advertising
• Design and production of websites, online shareholder communication and annual reports

This ensures that all activities communicate consistent messages in the most cost-effective way.

Stringent security procedures protect all client information, and risk management procedures and recovery systems are in place in case of computer failure.
