The distribution of material news releases for publicly traded companies has been at the core of CCNMatthews' business since 1983. In 2004, CCNMatthews distributed over 35,000 news releases - over 55% of all full-text news releases issued by publicly traded companies in Canada.

CCNMatthews is approved by every Canadian Stock Exchange and Securities Commission to provide this service. Our success stems from our ability to meet the individual needs of IR professionals working for thousands of corporations.

CCNMatthews maintains an electronic newswire network, not only to reach every key location simultaneously, as demanded by the TSX and other stock exchanges, but also to provide the most effective distribution. For example, the key investment databases provided by StarQuote, Bloomberg and Reuters all require electronic access to guarantee that every news release is available on their clients' computer screens. Likewise, many of the key financial media, such as The Globe and Mail, the National Post and other major city dailies have stated their preference to receive financial news releases electronically. CCNMatthews knows and meets such media requirements.

Every timely disclosure news release is transmitted to over 4,000 databases, online services and Internet sites, many of which deliver truly global reach.
