Registrar and Transfer Company and Commerce Financial Printers are pleased to announce the formation of a new affiliate, Eagle Rock Proxy Advisors, LLC, (“Eagle Rock”). Eagle Rock has been formed to assist issuers dealing with the changing topography of shareholder meetings and corporate governance issues. “We formed Eagle Rock with the same integrity and commitment to responsive, high quality personal service that has been our hallmark through the decades”, stated Tom Montrone, Chairman, President and CEO of Eagle Rock. "With the growth in importance of corporate governance and changes in the shareholder meeting process, particularly the elimination of discretionary voting on directors and Proxy Access, we felt that issuers needed to have a committed long-term alternative."

Eagle Rock has been staffed with seasoned industry experts Joe Contorno, Jason Vinick and James Gill. Each joins Eagle Rock with an average of 16 years experience in brokerage and proxy solicitation. Joe will fill the position as the Senior Managing Director responsible for business development and operations. Joe is also a member of the Board of Directors of Eagle Rock. Joe stated "It’s thrilling to join forces with the highly-regarded Registrar and Transfer Company senior management team and form a new venture, one that is guided by the standards and principles of service and commitment." Eagle Rock Proxy Advisors’ operations are already established at 12 Commerce Drive and have fully operational mail, printing and telephone services for solicitation. "We needed to hit the ground running," stated Mary Rose Cascaes, Senior Managing Director and Chief Administrative Officer for Eagle Rock. "Forming a new company was a challenge, but we already have the operating experience in place to handle complex processes and handle them well."
