Drawing upon Dix & Eaton’s experience and expertise as a nationally recognized investor relations firm, ar360 combines investor relations counsel, creative design, electronic delivery and on-demand printing for a single source for print and online annual reports that are both compelling and compliant.  The firm believes that this multi-component annual report solution is the first of its kind.

“Among other things, we believe the ar360 offers public companies a unique opportunity to maximize their annual report budgets, as it will allow them to print as few or any many annual reports as they need – when they need them,” said Rob Berick, a Dix & Eaton managing director and head of its investor relations practice.  “Furthermore, it offers companies an opportunity for sustainability by helping to reduce paper consumption and landfill waste.”

As of July 1, 2007, the SEC will no longer require companies to mail proxy materials, including annual reports, to shareholders.  However, shareholders must be given notice of the availability of these materials on the company’s Web site and may request a printed copy.

Dix & Eaton’s investor relations practice includes current and former leaders of the National Investor Relations Institute, as well as former corporate investor relations officers, certified public accountants, research specialists and speech writers.  The firm also has an award-winning creative design department.
