Effective September 30, 2017, Tricor has become the new stock transfer and dividend disbursing agent in Hong Kong SAR for Manulife common shares in collaboration with AST Trust Company (Canada) (“AST”), Manulife’s principal registrar and global stock transfer agent. All shareholder records previously maintained by Manulife’s former agent in Hong Kong SAR have been effectively transferred to Tricor.

Tricor also looks forward to providing value-added share registry services to the world’s first publicly listed insure-tech company, ZhongAn, Mainland China’s online-only property and casualty insurer, whose major shareholders include financial services and technology industry leaders Alibaba’s Ant Financial, Tencent and Ping An Insurance. We are pleased to report smooth sailing of ZhongAn’s most successful IPO in Hong Kong SAR in September, which was 390 times over-subscribed with market valuation of HK$ 85+ billion. Tricor, additionally, provides named company secretary service for the insurer.
