Guidance on Appointment by Issuers of Independent Registrars for IPOs
The Securities Exchange Commission requires issuers conducting initial public offerings or additional listings to appoint an independent, unaffiliated registrar. This appointed entity must manage certificate issuance, maintain the shareholder register, distribute dividends, and fulfill all standard registrar duties. The mandate remains in effect for as long as the issuer stays listed on the stock exchange, ensuring ongoing protection of public investors' interests.
