PrecisionIR™ Enhances Investor Relations Services to Help Companies Leverage Participation in Global Financial Markets

PrecisionIR’s ‘Go Global’ program helps public companies attract investor interest and affordably provide corporate information to investors around the globe

RICHMOND, VA – June 13, 2006 – PrecisionIR from WILink plc (LSE: WLK.L), a worldwide provider of web-based communication solutions and online investor relations services, today announced their “Go Global” program with new options for companies to reach out to a global investor audience.  The program aims to encourage companies to take advantage of a financial marketplace that is becoming more globally connected.

 

Recent news on the globalization of stock exchanges suggests that investors and companies are more willing to look outside their home market for investment opportunities. With an exclusive global investor communication network of leading financial channel partners, multiple stock exchange relationships, and over 3.6 million registered high net worth investor-customers, PrecisionIR is uniquely capable of connecting companies and investors around the world. Just last month, the PrecisionIR service launched in the Nordic region leveraging partnerships with the OMX Exchanges, Oslo Børs, Dagens Nyheter, Aftenposten, Dagbladet Børsen, Avanza and Næringsliv24.

 

Of PrecisionIR’s 3,500 corporate clients, more than 160 publicly traded companies already take advantage of PrecisionIR’s global program to increase visibility with investors and provide interested investors corporate information to complete their investment research. PrecisionIR expects the number seeking global exposure to increase rapidly.

 

”The recent globalization moves by major stock exchanges has caused a growing number of companies to be interested in communicating with a global investor audience” said J. Patrick Galleher, chief executive officer of WILink, plc, parent company of PrecisionIR. “The PrecisionIR investor network makes that possible, and is the only IR service available that provides companies this level of global reach and delivers complete reporting on the investor interest generated.” 

 

The PrecisionIR network of financial channel partners includes The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, The Globe and Mail,  Handelsblatt, La Tribune, Dagens Nyheter and Yahoo!Finance among many others. PrecisionIR also works with the leading stock exchanges in the world to help connect companies and investors, including the London Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, Euronext, Deutche Boerse, the Toronto Stock Exchange and the OMX. In addition to generating and tracking investor interest for companies, the PrecisionIR suite of services provides webcasting, email blast and contact management for effective follow up with interested investors, an institutional investor database for targeting, interactive report conversion and investor perception research that provides companies feedback on the impact of their IR initiatives.
