Island Stock Transfer to Open Stock Transfer Agency / Registrar Operations in Vancouver, Canada

VANCOUVER, British Columbia and ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., June 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Island Stock Transfer ("Island"), part of the Endeavour Cooperative Partners family of companies, announced today the opening of its branch office in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Initially, Island Stock Transfer will service its current and future Canadian based, U.S. listed clients from this location; however, in due course Island expects to obtain trust company powers in Canada to enable it also to service TSX.v and TSX issuers.  In addition to its core stock transfer and registrar services, Island will be professionally staffed to provide corporate advisory services with respect to Canadian companies seeking a primary or secondary U.S. stock market listing.  Island will have its Vancouver office staffed with experienced personnel and fully operational by June 30, 2011.  

Island's Canadian Operations Manager, Anna Krokhina, commented, "I am pleased to present our services to Canadian based companies that maintain a primary or secondary U.S. stock market listing. There are numerous Canadian companies listed in the U.S., and the launch of our Vancouver-based operation will allow us to better serve our current and future clients by eliminating the geographic and time zone differences.  We believe this will be of great benefit in terms of convenience and cost savings to Canadian-based, U.S.-listed companies."

Island's CEO, Micah J. Eldred, further commented, "The expansion of our business into Canada is part of a multi-market geographic expansion plan underway at Island and our parent company- Endeavour Cooperative Partners.  With the continued consolidation of global stock exchanges, we feel it is becoming increasingly important to be able to provide our clients with a single source of securities processing services not only in North America, but also in Europe and in Asia."  

In conjunction with the launch of the branch operations, key Island executives and staff members will be hosting a cocktail party July 22.  The details are:

Date:  July 22, 2011

Time:  5pm-7pm PDT

Location:  Shangri La Hotel, Vancouver / Level 6 / Mallinson & Mallinson Terrace

Public company executives who wish to attend the event are urged to RSVP Abby Lord ([email protected]), as space is limited.
