Proposals for Developing the Investor Relations Field in Public Companies via Digital Platforms and Solutions

About the company:

Q4 Inc. is the fastest growing provider of cloud-based IR and capital market solutions to the IR industry.
Knowing the positive effect a sophisticated web presence would have on investor sentiment, the Q4 team designed an alternative approach to IR websites that put storytelling first and emphasized intuitive corporate reporting.

In 2015, Q4 acquired Oxford Intelligence Partners, a company that specialized in capital markets intelligence and customized analytics. With this addition to our core offering, Q4 provides our clients both dynamic outbound channels to the marketplace and a unique inbound channel that delivers critical capital markets intelligence and customized analytics. Q4’s clients enjoy the industry’s first, fully integrated investor relations platform, which integrates communications tools, surveillance and analytics into a fully featured IR workflow and CRM application.

In October 2016, Q4 acquired Euroinvestor IR Solutions (Q4 Euroinvestor), Europe’s leading IR stock quote, charting and news provider. The platform supports 45 European stock exchanges in 21 languages.

Professional experience in the investor relations field:

Q4 was established 2006, and in just over 10 years has successfully grown from a team of 10 to just over 200 employees, with offices in New York, Chicago, Toronto and Copenhagen. The Q4 business model is based on helping companies create successful IR programs, better connect with their investors, make more effective decisions, and understand the capital markets. Q4 executive team members and our Surveillance Analysts have presented at a number of conferences and events throughout North America and regularly author whitepapers and research on IR best practice.

Additional companies that participate in the service (should there be any):

A combination of Q4’s full-service IR technology and Gelbart-Kahana’s (GK) knowledge of the Israeli capital market, will help to encourage increased transparency, shareholder engagement and enhance growth potential for all companies listed on the Tel-Aviv stock exchange. GK’s knowledge of financial PR is second-to-none, and Q4’s technological focus gives us a unique opportunity to be able to offer a full-service approach suitable for companies of all sizes.
