Georgeson Inc.
Georgeson is the world's foremost provider of strategic shareholder consulting services to corporations and shareholder groups working to influence corporate strategy. We offer unsurpassed advice and representation in mergers and acquisitions, proxy contests, capital raisings and other extraordinary transactions.
The story of Georgeson is fundamentally the story of two companies - Georgeson & Company Inc., founded in 1935 by Lloyd Georgeson, and Shareholder Communications Corporation, founded in 1969 by Alexander Miller. In 1999, Shareholder Communications Corporation acquired Georgeson & Co., forming Georgeson Shareholder Communications Inc. In 2003 Computershare acquired Georgeson Shareholder Communications and renamed the company, simply, Georgeson Inc. Over its long history, Georgeson Inc. pioneered proxy solicitation, PostMerger CleanUp™ program, and the contemporary approach to small shareholder programs. We were the first to use the telephone as a strategic tool to reach large numbers of shareholders. In 2013, we introduced the Georgeson inVU™ platform, which helps gain deep shareholder insight and more effective shareholder engagement for both investor relations professionals (IROs) and corporate secretaries. Innovation and speed – in products and problem solving – have defined our history. For more than 70 years Georgeson has been communicating important information and eliciting response from shareholders. Our staff has extensive experience designing and managing programs for any type of security-related issue. Georgeson has maintained the leading position in the industry, and was the No. 1 proxy solicitor for annual meetings for the proxy season ending June 30, 2013. The company was also ranked by Corporate Control Alert as the No. 1 M&A proxy solicitor in 2013. This top placement marked the eleventh time over the past 13 years that Georgeson led the rankings of US M&A proxy solicitor/information agents for transactions valued at $100 million or more.
