Computershare Wins ETERNE Award From The Tree Canada Foundation - But The Real Winner Is Our Environment23 February 2006
Computershare (ASX: CPU), a global leader in transfer agency, employee investment plans, proxy solicitation and other specialized financial and communication services, has won the 2005 ETERNE Award from The Tree Canada Foundation for its eTree Program.
eTree ( http://www.eTree.ca ) is an initiative between Computershare and Tree Canada, a national conservation organization, which assists companies in increasing stakeholder acceptance of electronic communications. Each time a shareholder registers for electronic report or statement delivery through a sponsored eTree program, a tree is planted on his/her behalf in various regions throughout Canada.
"The ETERNE Award is given to those corporations whose sponsorship of the Tree Canada Foundation exemplifies the very best in environmental stewardship. It is called ETERNE to acknowledge the dynamism and eternal nature of trees and forests. The prize has been awarded since 1993," said Jeffrey L. Monty, President of the Tree Canada Foundation.
The Award is made from a section of an ancient tree found in the Salomon Creek valley in Alberta outside of Jasper National Park. It was from a spruce tree growing in the valley in 2240-2400 B.C. The tree was 180 years old when a cataclysmic landslide buried it until it was unearthed again in 1980 by a flood.

"We are very pleased to accept the ETERNE award. Since Computershare launched its first eTree program in Australia, shareholders around the globe have embraced electronic communications and more than 1 million trees have been planted," said Wayne Newling, President, Computershare Canada.
The formal presentation of the Award will occur this month in Calgary.
