Stock Plan recordkeeping and financial reporting for a pre-IPO company.
Marilo Calabuig (Controller, Axiom)
| Dec 29, 2011I am seeking information on Equity transaction systems for a company that is in a pre-IPO stage. I am very familiar with CapMx from SVB. Their functionality for public companies does not seem to be very robust but if you use CapMx and are in public company, please let me know as i d love to chat with you.
In addition of CapMx, If you work in a public company, what system do you use to keep stock records, perform FAS 123R/ASC 718, track grant acceptance, blackout periods, suspend trading, SOX, e-statements, on-line transactions etc
Thanks for the feedback!

CapMx from SVB is designed for use by private not public companies. At Global Shares, in our experience in helping companies prepare for an IPO, it is very important to understand the specifics of the company’s equity award plans before recommending a software platform to manage their stock plans once they become public. This includes understanding who the Transfer Agent is and what broker(s) would be involved in supporting the equity programs. We support a number of different software platforms and align the needs of the client with the best software platform to meet their specific requirements. Please let us know if you would like to discuss this further.
