...spending countless hours communicating with the shareholders...

"Invariably, whenever I serve as the stockholder rep, I end up spending countless hours communicating with the shareholders, producing and checking spreadsheets, and working through individual matters, even in the absence of claims. My favorite was, ‘My name is [insert name]. When I worked at the company, my name was [insert completely different name]. I moved back to China, but then later returned and am working here again, although my name on my passport is now [insert yet again different name]. I am now at a different company and live at a different address. In order for the escrow agent bank to pay me they need proof that I worked at the company and held shares. Can you help?"
