A share registry is an organisation that manages the register of shareholders on behalf of a listed company. Share registries are responsible for recording changes in share ownership, issuing shareholding statements, and managing dividend payments, dividend reinvestment plans, bonus issues and rights issues.
Examples of share registry companies in Australia include MUFG Investor Centre, Computershare, BoardRoom Limited and Automic.
