Ultra Registrars was established in early 2000 by Manie Boonzaaier and Polly Pollard after Computershare acquired the businesses of Optimum Registrars and Consolidated Share Registrars
Mercantile Registrars held a 45% shareholding in Ultra Registrars and provided its share transfer system to Ultra Registrars on a bureau basis
When Computershare acquired the business of Mercantile Registrars in 2002, the Competition Commission ruled that Computershare was compelled to dispose of Mercantile Registrars' shareholding in Ultra Registrars
Computershare disposed of the shareholding in July 2003
Link Market Services Limited, the second largest share registrar in Australia, acquired control of Ultra Registrars in March 2006
Name changed to Link Market Services South Africa (Pty) Limited in May 2006
