ADP Investor Communications Services, a leading shareholder services provider, has chosen OnlineProxy.com to provide investor-friendly internet documents for ADP clients.

OnlineProxy.com will provide internet-ready, HTML versions of printed annual reports, proxies, and other corporate documents to clients of ADP Investor Communications Services, which distributes more than 95% of all beneficial shareholdersf proxies and annual reports for more than 14,000 North American public companies.

OnlineProxy.comfs technology allows corporations to give investors an additional viewing option besides PDF (portable document format) versions of annual reports, proxies, and other corporate documents.

Scott Ades, senior vice president of ADP Investor Communications Services, said that OnlineProxy.comfs technology was chosen because it goffers an efficient, cost-effective way for corporations to deliver user-friendly, elight-weightf documents on the web.

gUnlike a PDF, which you have to click and download, OnlineProxyfs technology gives you an HTML document without having to convert any files,h Ades explained.

gResearch shows that only 6% of investors actually use and download PDF documents,h noted Rich Andrews, chief technology officer of OnlineProxy.com. gCorporations that publish only PDF versions of their annual reports and proxies on their web sites risk losing 94% of their investor audiences. Our technology provides easily navigated web versions of corporate documents. So investors no longer need to download software or documents in order to read these documents.h
