Capita Hartshead Tracing Solutions

Dissentient registers

Capita Hartshead Tracing solutions has successfully re-united shareholders with over £50 million

The last 10 years have seen increased activity in corporate mergers, acquisitions, rights issues, schemes of arrangement and demutualisations which coupled with the regularity of people moving home (on average 11% per year), it is inevitable that companies lose contact with their shareholders.

When a number of shareholders fail to claim shares or cash following a merger, acquisition, demutualisation or other corporate action, they are listed on what is called a dissentient register.

Capita Hartshead Tracing solutions can help you to:

  • Reduce the cost of maintaining your dissentient share register to nil.
  • Save costs of communicating with "gone away" shareholders.
  • Comply with the Companies Act 2006.
  • Implement good corporate governance practices to re-unite shareholders with their cash.

Features of our Asset re-unification service:

  • Data analysis.
  • Data cleanse the register to improve shareholder data and maximise the success of the programme.
  • Verify shareholders at current address or find new addresses.
  • Outbound telephone and mailing campaigns to shareholders.
  • Identify & verify shareholders.
  • Remit proceeds to shareholders.
  • Reconciliation.
  • If your register is over 12 years old we can take the next step and pay any remaining proceeds into Court - enabling compliance with Companies Act 2006.
