ShARP© (Shareholder Asset Reunification Program)/PMC
Reach lost property owners and holders of outdated securities.

Unclaimed assets are a significant issue for any publicly-listed company, financial institution, third party administrator, transfer agent, government agency, and especially for organizations with numerous shareholders.  Assets tied up in dormant or forgotten accounts, lost certificates, un-tendered securities and un-cashed dividend checks can represent a huge risk, potential liability, unnecessary expense and a lost source of revenue for organizations.  Post Merger Clean up (PMC) and asset reunification are essential to good corporate governance.  Talon’s ShARP/PMC product assists organizations and vendors with the tools needed to effectively re-establish contact with shareholders.
