MADISON HEIGHTS, MI / ACCESSWIRE / June 13, 2014 / Creative Edge Nutrition, Inc. (OTC Pink: FITX) (PINKSHEETS: FITX) is pleased to announce the pending change of transfer agent to Computershare.
"In an effort to increase transparency and up-list to a hirer exchange, we believe it is in the best interest of the company and its shareholders to change transfer agents" stated Bill Chaaban, President & CEO. "Furthermore, the transfer agent business is highly specialized. Few companies have the necessary expertise to perform the following tasks; transferring stock, escheatment, capital structure changes, employee stock plan and direct purchase plan administration, dividend distributions, dividend reinvestment plan administration, proxy tabulation, and other similar responsibilities. Computershare has the resources to handle all of our necessary future transactions."
