- Individual Investors
may advocate professional research for companies in
which they are invested.
- An Oversight Member
may be elected by shareholders of a specific
company, to serve with the 5-member public panel.
- Anyone may enroll a
company for coverage under the public oversight
program.
- A company may
self-enroll directly or through any of the qualified
providers.
- Qualified providers
may enroll companies they cover to achieve public
oversight.
- Coverage enrollments
may be from one to three years, and the latter is
encouraged to further insure public confidence in
the program’s coverages.
- Multiple analyst
coverages may be selected to insure even greater
diversity.
- Companies may opt to
enroll for a more aggressive but non-promotional
Visibility program, under the public oversight
mechanisms.
The Shareholders Research Alliance oversees a menu of
analytics and visibility platforms via its Member
Independent Research Providers and the Investrend
Research Syndicate for companies that enroll on behalf
of their shareholders and investors, or to shareholders
and investors who may enroll a company for up to three
years with from one to three or more separate reports
and analysts.
Enrollments initiated by
Shareholders or Institutions may entitle such
Shareholders to advanced research distributions, which,
if occurring, shall be fully disclosed.
None of the Providers
accept stock, warrants or options, but enrollment
payments may be made in advance directly to the Alliance
in cash, or alternatively, enrollment fees may be
advanced to a designated third-party *Escrow Account in
free-trading stock contribution. Neither the Alliance
nor any of its Providers shall have access to or benefit
from the stock or the sale of stock, and cash fees paid
to the Provider from the Escrow Account shall be fully
disclosed. The Escrow Account is not owned by any
Provider or the Alliance.
The provision for stock
payment is in recognition of the fact that the services
to be provided are entirely for the benefit of the
shareholders, for which the company or a third party may
elect to have the shareholders pay in the form of
equity. This also provides a means for shareholders of
companies with minimal cash flow to acquire research and
enhanced corporate access without utilizing corporate
capital. None of the stock will go to any research
provider or to the Shareholders Research Alliance.
The Escrow Account will
dispose of all stock in advance of any report or
visibility project, and will pay the Alliance or the
provider in cash. The Escrow Account, therefore, may not
benefit from any increase in the price of the equities
resulting from an Alliance or Provider report or
shareholder service.
The Shareholders Oversight Advisory Group may ask for and review the Escrow Account transactions at any time.
The assignment of the Provider and the analyst will occur as part of a formula established by the Alliance, and will be subject to review by the Shareholders Oversight Advisory Group.
*The Escrow Account is managed by the law offices of Marshal Shichtman &
Associates, P.C., and neither the Shareholders Research Alliance nor any of
its IRPs have any beneficial ownership in the account.
