Issuer Direct Corporation (NYSE American:ISDR) announced today that the Board of Directors has approved changing the Company’s corporate name to ACCESS Newswire Inc.
“The rebrand to ACCESS Newswire represents more than a name change; it’s a commitment to creating a dynamic, all-encompassing investor relations and public relations customer experience,” said Brian R. Balbirnie, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Issuer Direct. “Since 2006, we have continued to progress our business and maximize the value provided to the thousands of customers over the years, but we recognized the need for a brand that reflects the next 20 years of our business.”
Since 2006, Issuer Direct has served the market as a corporate communications technology enabling business. Over this 19-year history, the Company has done a handful of accretive acquisitions relating to our communications business. This rebrand consolidates Issuer Direct’s offerings under a unified identity, reflecting the Company’s continued focus on transforming the public relations (PR) and investor relations (IR) landscape. Beginning today, the Company intends to operate its PR and IR business as ACCESS Newswire.
Balbirnie continued, “Our new name represents our commitment to delivering an innovative communication experience that meets the evolving needs of our customers. We are excited to focus our efforts on expanding our presence, impact and market and loving our customers more.”
At the heart of the rebrand is ACCESS Newswire’s first-in-industry subscription model, which we believe is a game-changing approach designed to disrupt traditional communications platforms. This model ensures customers can maximize the value of their press release distribution and media and investor engagement efforts with greater flexibility and transparency.
Key highlights of the rebrand include:
- A unified brand identity that reflects a heightened focus on PR and IR solutions.
- Expanded offerings designed to incorporate the traditional storytelling press release distribution process with a full suite of monitoring, targeting and outreach solutions tailored for both PR and IR.
- A transparent subscription-based model that provides unparalleled value, flexibility, and customer-centric solutions.
Although the effective date of the name change to ACCESS Newswire Inc. will be January 27, 2025, the Company intends to operate under the new name beginning January 16, 2025. The Company has reserved with the NYSE American Exchange the ticker symbol “ACCS” for its common stock. The Company’s CUSIP will remain unchanged, and its common stock is expected to begin trading on the NYSE American Exchange under the Company’s new name and trading symbol effective as of market open on Monday, January 27, 2025. No action is required by existing stockholders with respect to the name and ticker symbol change.
The Company’s mission will remain steadfast: To reinvigorate and refresh the outlook on the world of communications by letting our customers inspire our thinking and innovation. With customer service at the forefront, the Company is poised to set new standards for success in 2025 and beyond.
