Take advantage of CIBC Mellon's direct links

To help you and your investors easily access the most frequently used pages on our website, CIBC Mellon provides direct links (a hyperlink that is clean of tracking scripts or redirects, or electronic shortcuts) to take you to specific information. Direct links are intuitive and easy to remember; all users can bypass normal website navigation. For example, to access the online services for issuers from CIBC Mellon, you can begin at www.cibcmellon.com/issuer - this direct link takes you to the homepage of our issuer website.

 

By including direct links to relevant sections of our site in communications to your investors, you give them a quick and easy way to find information they need to know. You can include them in print communications such as annual reports or embed the links in the investor relations section of your own website. Table 1 provides a list of the most commonly used links, in both English and French.

When presenting these links to your investors, please keep the following in mind:

 

  • Provide links in lowercase characters.
  • Review the links you plan to use with your CIBC Mellon client service manager in advance of publication. Confirming this information ensures that links are up-to-date and accurate, which can help to avoid reprinting costs and investor confusion.
  • When creating electronic links on your website, you can substitute user-friendly terminology to link directly to our site (e.g., Sign up for electronic communication or Contact our transfer agent).

Use of electronic mail

In addition to presenting direct links on your website, please advise your investors that all communications from investors to CIBC Mellon should be sent through our secure Investor inquiry link, rather than to an e-mail address such as inquiries@cibcmellon.com or generalinquiries@cibcmellon.com. In addition to ensuring investor confidentiality and security, the forms provided at this secure link prompt investors to supply all necessary information so that we can answer their questions quickly and effectively.

 

Should you as an issuer wish to correspond securely with CIBC Mellon, please use our secure Issuer inquiry link.

 

Our direct links are yet another way that CIBC Mellon strives to make life easier for you and your investors.
