Wouldn’t you take a 2-year Free offer seriously? Many public companies do. Yet, what they have found is using the exchanges complimentary IR website offer reels them into a situation that is not exactly free.
While the website fees are covered by NASDAQ & NYSE forthe first two years, there are many pitfalls that may not be thought of prior to engagement.
• Website change fees can be very costly and could likely have long turn-around times;
• Website changes and additions may only be made by the chosen vendor;
• Locked into a templated IR website design for 2 years, with little, if any customization;
• Fees are typically very expensive at the end of the complimentary period, easily costing $10-$20K or more per year.
“The NYSE offers newly listed companies certain complimentary IR-related services as part of its incentives packages. The covered services are, however, limited both in scope and duration. After comparing the prospective costs for the full scope of web-hosting services we utilize under the 'complimentary' offer to those under our current provider, B2i Technologies, we opted to remain with B2i. We've been very happy with that decision both operationally and
financially.” says NYSE listed company.
