For years, customers have asked for a better way to produce complex shareholder communications. Proxy Statements and Management Information Circulars (MICs) are among the most important documents companies provide to regulators and shareholders, yet the process of creating them has only grown more demanding.
After more than 40 years in this industry, I have heard the same message from customers repeatedly. They want to spend less time on formatting and production mechanics and more time improving the quality of the disclosure. They need to efficiently generate high-quality proofs throughout the drafting process so key stakeholders can see how the document is taking shape. They still need control, but what matters most is precise presentation combined with full command of the drafting process.
Proxy and MIC teams now manage tighter timelines, increasing disclosure requirements, more complex page layouts and higher expectations. Accuracy is essential. Deadlines are fixed. The traditional process—manual formatting, fragmented reviews, version-control issues and disconnected tools—can no longer keep pace.
That is why we built Quinn.
Quinn by Toppan Merrill is our next-generation SaaS platform for proxy and MIC teams, built to simplify creation, collaboration, proofing and delivery from start to finish.
At the center of the Quinn shareholder communications experience is Smart Format, which turns draft content into a print-ready, precisely formatted proof with a single click. Drafting teams can generate perfectly formatted proofs weeks or months in advance, see how their proxy statement or management information circular will look and continue refining it with greater confidence and control.
This is more than an incremental improvement. Quinn offers proxy and MIC teams a smarter way forward.
Quinn removes the low-value work that slows teams down. It automates recurring updates, streamlines collaboration, improves comment reconciliation and gives teams a single source of truth. Together, these capabilities deliver what teams have long needed: speed, accuracy, visibility and control.
That matters because the proxy statement and MIC documents sit at the intersection of governance, disclosure, investor trust and brand integrity. Every word, number and graphic in the document matters. Teams need technology that supports that level of precision without adding process burden.
Beyond Smart Format, Quinn brings structure to complex disclosure work through role-based permissions, detailed version history, Excel linking of financial data, collaboration tools and one source of truth across the working group. The result is a workflow that is faster, more accurate and more predictable from draft to print-ready output.
Because Quinn is from Toppan Merrill, the technology is backed by deep subject matter expertise. Our service teams work alongside customers through the demands of the document production cycle. They understand the pressure, the deadlines and the expectations. The combination of modern technology and expert support is what makes Quinn different.
The industry is ready for a better way to draft, format, proof and deliver critical shareholder communications. Quinn gives proxy and MIC teams a smarter path from first draft to final distribution – combining modern technology, expert support and the precision this work demands.
For companies navigating growing complexity and fixed deadlines, Quinn is the next step forward.
