  • A proactive stance is taken when corporate actions occur. We work to ensure that financial advisors will know the details of the transaction and the process for holding or transacting on the shares that are held at CNB. When a non-traded company announces a merger, acquisition, or listing on a national exchange, CNB’s corporate action team launches into a process that often looks like this:

CNB corporate action team process

  • Step 1:

    Prior to the event CNB communicates with the company and reconciles share positions

  • Step 2:

    CNB researches company filings to determine expected outcomes.

  • Step 3:

    Communication is sent from CNB to financial advisors outlining published details of the transaction and process for holding, buying, selling, or transferring publicly traded stock.

  • Step 4:

    CNB notifies financial advisors when the transaction is complete and the cash and/or new shares are available.
