Paying Agent

The timely and accurate distribution of payments—whether interest, principal, or dividends—is a fundamental obligation of any securities issuer. The Paying Agent is the trusted intermediary appointed to execute these payments, providing a secure and efficient link between the issuer and its investors.

Our Role

We act as an independent and professional Paying Agent, managing the complete disbursement process for a wide range of securities and corporate actions. We are entrusted by issuers to receive funds and distribute them to the correct security holders with absolute precision and reliability.

Interest and Coupon Payments

We manage the periodic payment of interest and coupons to bondholders and other debt security holders, ensuring funds are disbursed accurately and on schedule in accordance with the terms of the indenture.

Principal Repayment and Redemption

We execute the payment of principal at maturity or upon redemption, coordinating with the issuer and registrar to ensure a seamless and final settlement of the issuer's obligations.

Dividend Distribution

For equity securities, we act as the disbursing agent for dividend payments, receiving funds from the company and distributing them to all registered shareholders as of the record date.

M&A and Corporate Action Payments

In the context of a merger, acquisition, or other corporate action, we manage the distribution of cash consideration to selling shareholders, ensuring all payments are validated and executed in line with the transaction agreement.

The Aether Advantage

The mechanics of payment distribution can be operationally complex, involving multiple jurisdictions, currencies, and a diffuse investor base. Entrusting this function to a specialist, independent agent mitigates operational risk and enhances credibility.

Operational Excellence

Our robust systems and experienced team are designed to handle high-volume, time-critical payment flows with flawless execution. We manage the entire process—from receiving funds to validating instructions and disbursing payments—with a focus on security, accuracy, and responsiveness, ensuring investors are paid correctly and on time.

Independent Verification

As a neutral third party, we provide a critical layer of independent verification to the payment process. This gives both the issuer and its investors confidence that funds are being managed securely and disbursed strictly in accordance with the governing legal agreements, free from any potential conflict of interest.
