BNY Mellon Shareowner Services is a provider of corporate equity solutions and employee share plan administration in the US. King Worldwide is a financial communications and stakeholder management firm.
Under this partnership, BNY Mellon will offer its clients King Worldwide’s consulting and related shareholder identification, proxy solicitation and shareholder communications services while King Worldwide will refer its clients to BNY Mellon’s transfer agency and merger and acquisition processing services, as well as BNY Mellon’s equity plan services.
King Worldwide’s proxy solicitation division DF King & Co president and CEO Peter Harkins said a significant number of King Worldwide’s clients already are served by BNY Mellon, and we expect that number to grow as public companies seek the benefits of an established provider of transfer agency, M&A processing and equity share plan administration services.
BNY Mellon Shareowner Services CEO Samir Pandiri said that this alliance is an important step in the objective to deliver integrated, global solutions to clients through leading providers.
"King Worldwide has a strong operational presence in the US, Europe and Asia, a proven track record and a tradition of excellence in delivering proxy solicitation services to clients in these regions," Pandiri said.
