Stockholder Services

Baker Hughes stockholder services – offered by Mellon Investor Services, our transfer agent and registrar — assist you in managing your investment in Baker Hughes. As Baker Hughes' transfer agent, Mellon Investor Services, keeps a record of every outstanding stock certificate and the name of the person to whom it is registered. When stock changes hands, Mellon Investor Services transfers the ownership of the stock from the seller's name to the buyer's name. At the end of each day, they reconcile all transfer records and makes sure that the number of shares debited is equal to the number of shares credited. Mellon Investor Services also uses the stockholder records to pay dividends and issue proxies.
