"I'm extremely pleased with the survey results, and the above industry average ratings across the various survey categories," said Wayne Newling, President, Computershare Canada. "While it's very exciting to receive these high ratings, we recognize that providing exemplary client service is not a 'one-and-done' effort - we're committed to continually raising the bar."

Computershare received a 96% favourable rating for overall service to issuers, and was rated 89% favourable for overall service to shareholders, the highest ratings for all issuers surveyed. Clients indicated their favourable support for Computershare's use of technology and its overall efforts to continuously improve service. Computershare also held the highest ratings across the categories of Account Administration, Issuer Services and Shareholder Services and increased their scores in all categories over last year's results.

One Computershare client surveyed for Group Five's report said, "Computershare has provided us with exceptional service for many years. They are very professional and are always available to assist us in various transactions. They are also very thorough and detail oriented; everything they do for us is done in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Computershare to anyone seeking transfer agent services."

"We have been dedicated to continuous improvement, through our own client survey efforts," said Margot Jordan, Senior Vice President of Investor Services, Computershare Canada. "I am delighted to see these initiatives are successful, based on the feedback from our clients. We also had more than twice the number of responses than any other transfer agent, so I'd like to thank our clients who took the time to respond."
