Issuer Direct Changes Transfer Agent

Issuer Direct Changes Transfer Agent

CARY, N.C., Oct. 16, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Issuer Direct Corporation (OTCBB:ISDR), a market innovator of issuer-focused services to public companies, today announced it has terminated its relationship with its current transfer agent. A growing part of Issuer Direct's business has been to maintain the books and records of our client's transfer agent needs, so moving our own records over was a natural progression and part of our planned execution with our Direct Transfer business segment.

Shareholders, brokers and the Depository Trust Corporation will NOT experience any delay in this transition. All certificate holders are asked to forward all requests to our transfer department in Cary, NC. "We have a great relationship with our shareholders, as well as the financial community -- after all, we deal with them on a daily basis with our proxy and shareholder compliance solutions for our corporate issuers," stated Brian Balbirnie, Chief Executive Officer of Issuer Direct. "Moving our books and records in-house is just part of our overall strategy."
