In November of 1999, ESCO announced the conversion of the trust receipts to common stock.

Is it possible to have my dividend checks Direct Deposited into my bank account?

Through a simple election, you are able to have your ESCO quarterly dividends deposited directly into your personal checking or savings account instead of receiving a check by mail. You may elect Direct Deposit by simply completing the election form that will be provided with future dividend checks, or by calling Computershare toll free at (877) 373-6374. You can also cancel your election or change your bank information at any time in the same manner.

Does ESCO offer Direct Registration of Shares (DRS)?

Effective September 1, 2016, ESCO has changed the way in which it registers its common stock by adopting the Direct Registration System, or DRS. Under DRS, shareholders hold their shares in electronic, book-entry form, which is basically the same way shares are held in a brokerage account, rather than as traditional stock certificates.

In the future, when shareholders receive shares of ESCO stock, they will be sent a written advice indicating the number of shares Computershare has registered in their name. DRS has several advantages:

Stockholders avoid the risk of losing their stock certificates, and the time-consuming and costly process of replacing lost or stolen certificates.
Stockholders are able to transfer shares more quickly and easily, without having to send in physical stock certificates.
By creating an online account with Computershare, stockholders will be able to obtain information about their DRS stock holdings online, as well as transfer or sell shares through their Computershare account without having to use a broker as explained in the next question below.

Shareholders may also elect to give their currently-held ESCO stock certificates all of the above advantages by sending their paper stock certificates to Computershare to have the shares deposited into a personal DRS account.

Please note that you may still elect to receive paper certificates in lieu of DRS registration, but there will be an additional charge for this and the above benefits of DRS will not apply to those shares.

What if I would like to sell my shares of ESCO stock?

If you hold stock certificates (paper), you may sell these shares at any time through a broker. If you are a current employee, the sale of shares may be restricted to be within an applicable trading window.

In addition, shareholders who have electronic shares in a DRS account can have Computershare sell the shares without having to use a broker (although Computershare does charge a fee for stock sales). Please see the previous question regarding the Direct Registration of Shares (DRS) for a more detailed explanation of the DRS process and its advantages.

Has ESCO ever had a stock split?

Does ESCO pay a dividend?

Yes, the Company has been paying a quarterly dividend of $.08 per share since January 2010.

Does ESCO offer a dividend reinvestment program?

ESCO does not offer a dividend reinvestment program. The addition of a dividend reinvestment plan would result in increased administrative cost and currently is not seen to be an attractive alternative to a sufficient number of shareholders to justify the additional expense.

How can I invest in ESCO stock?

ESCO does not offer a direct investment plan. ESCO common stock can be purchased or sold through a stockbroker or financial institution that offers brokerage services.

How can I obtain copies of ESCO’s financial information?
