As an employee-owned A/E firm, we have made a deliberate effort to grow our shareholder base with strong support from our Board and leadership team. While this growth has been a positive step for our long-term ownership strategy, it also introduced administrative complexity and increased the need for better transparency and engagement with our shareholders.
Since formally launching the Nth Round platform in the first half of 2026, it has fully met our expectations across several key areas. Most notably, it has significantly improved our participation workflows, enhanced transparency for employee-owners, and centralized what had previously been fragmented administrative processes. As a result, we have seen a dramatic improvement in both the efficiency and accuracy of managing our stock program.
Nth Round worked closely with us to understand and adapt to our specific workflows, ensuring the platform aligned with our operational needs. From a shareholder perspective, the platform provides a clear, centralized portal for accessing relevant ownership information, which has meaningfully increased confidence, awareness, and engagement.
Overall, the platform is intuitive, easy to navigate, and has substantially improved both the administrative experience for our team and the ownership experience for our shareholders.
Nth Round helped walk us through the available features in developing our shareholder portal and met all the deadlines in going live. They've also provided excellent customer service, answering all our questions along the way.
The Nth Round platform is thoughtfully designed and easy to use. Shareholder engagement is vital to our multigenerational, family-owned company. This platform has made it easier to communicate and has increased shareholder participation. Shareholders have easy access to their account and company information all in one place. The proxy voting process has never been simpler and resulted in higher participation. Nth Round assisted us in uploading K-1s, giving shareholders secure access to their tax documents. Shareholders and company management are delighted with this product.
The support offered by the Nth Round team is exceptional. They are responsive, adaptable, and creative. I can't say enough good things about this company.
