Q4 to Unveil the Future of AI in IR at NIRI2025
TORONTO & BOSTON, May 28, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--(NIRI Annual Conference) — Q4 Inc., the leading provider of IR Ops software, will preview groundbreaking AI innovations at NIRI2025, the premier event for investor relations (IR) professionals, June 1-3, in Boston. As IR teams face mounting pressure to extract actionable insights from a growing volume of data, Q4 is unveiling a smarter, faster way to surface the signals that matter — so IR officers (IROs) can decode investor intent, anticipate market shifts, and respond with precision.
With advanced technologies — such as generative AI and agentic AI — transforming workflows across industries, the field of investor relations is likewise ripe for change. Data shows three-quarters (74%) of IROs think AI will "definitely" or "probably" be a standard part of their toolkit within five years — though half (50%) admit they're unsure where it will add the most value.
Q4's award-winning, AI-driven platform is bridging that gap and "redefining investor relations," according to the American Business Awards®. Already trusted for AI capabilities like earnings script assistance and peer event summaries, Q4 goes even further with its next wave of innovation: showcasing AI's — and, in particular, agentic AI's — potential to not only expedite work but also function as a strategic advisor to IR teams.
Improving productivity and decision-making with AI
Soon-to-launch features — which Q4 will demo at NIRI booth #413 — combine Q4 proprietary data, market intelligence and customer insights to:
Provide instant answers to complex IR questions (e.g., "Which investors are likely to initiate a position in our stock within the next quarter, based on peer movement and engagement signals?" or "Where are we underperforming in our IR program execution compared to best-in-class peers?"), in seconds, instead of hours
Visualize investor sentiment shifts as they unfold — tracking changes in tone, interest, and online activity in response to company news, earnings events, market developments and more
Generate board-ready insights on-demand, with the ability to ask any question (e.g., "What should I include for our CEO on valuation gaps?") and get data-backed answers instantly
Offer a daily view of what demands IROs' attention — from unusual stock movement to notable investor engagement to activist rumblings — helping IR pros act faster, mitigate risks and seize opportunities
And much more
"IR officers today face a variety of challenges, as they work to build trust, attract and retain the right investors, and protect their company's value — even, and especially, in volatile markets," said Q4 CEO Darrell Heaps. "We're committed to supporting them every step of the way, with AI that's purpose-built to help IR be more effective. We're excited to showcase how our new capabilities are helping companies drive efficiency, enhance investor engagement, and maximize their impact in the market."
Q4 presentations at NIRI2025
Q4 executives will also present during following sessions at NIRI:
"Solutions Spotlight" — June 1, 2-3 p.m. ET, with Q4 Platform demos
"Secure AI in IR: Unlocking Efficiency Without Compromising Security" — June 3, 1-1:50 p.m. ET, featuring Q4 CEO Darrell Heaps

Accord Announces Amendment to its Banking Facility
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Accord Financial Corp. (TSX – ACD) today announced it has amended its senior secured revolving credit facility (the 'Credit Facility'), extending the maturity date to December 15, 2025. This amendment follows two recent short-term extensions: the first announced on July 25, 2025, and the second on August 8, 2025, which extended the maturity date to August 15, 2025. Under the new terms, the total commitment will be reduced from $260 million to $200 million. The amendment also incorporates milestones tied to potential asset sales (with net proceeds to be used to repay bank indebtedness), increases the interest rate on drawn amounts by 1.00%, and updates certain financial covenants. 'While the amendment includes higher pricing and a reduced commitment, the extension provides time for the Company to continue to actively pursue a broad range of strategic initiatives to address the Company's maturing debt obligations (totalling $217.6 million as at June 30, 2025 and coming due by January 31, 2026) and maximize shareholder value,' said Mr. Hitzig. 'These include potential divestitures of portfolio assets or business units, as well as other financing alternatives. The Company continues to work closely with its financial advisors, but there is no assurance that these initiatives will yield a successful result. While we focus on these initiatives, profitable operating performance and growth will continue to be a challenge.' The Company does not plan to provide further updates on its strategic initiatives unless material developments emerge. A Material Change Report and the amended Credit Facility agreement will be filed on SEDAR+ at About Accord Financial Corp.
