Depository Agent Services

We understand the challenges associated with a voluntary tender offer. While a traditional merger affords you a lengthier period to communicate your position to investors, a tender offer's lifecycle is often far shorter and more complex. From communicating your position to your shareowners and the "street" to processing entitlement, we will apply specialized tactical expertise to the execution of your transaction. Our Depository Agent Services rely on complementary M&A processing areas and engage a number of cross-functional disciplines within our organization. In turn, our clients interface with a single point of contact that synchronizes a tender offer's many moving parts. This seamless coordination allows you to focus on the strategic objectives tied to your event.
