Cosmo First Limited: Reminder for Unclaimed Dividends & Share Transfer to IEPF
Cosmo First Limited reminds shareholders to claim unclaimed dividends from FY 2018-19 before August 31, 2026. Shares with unclaimed dividends for seven years will also be transferred to IEPF post this date. Shareholders must act by August 24, 2026, to avoid transfer. Contact details for queries are provided.
This is a standard regulatory compliance process for unclaimed dividends and shares. While it affects a subset of shareholders, it does not have a significant direct impact on the company's operations or financial performance.
The announcement is a routine regulatory communication regarding unclaimed dividends and share transfers to the IEPF, with no immediate positive or negative financial implications for the company.
Cosmo First Limited has issued a reminder to its shareholders regarding unclaimed dividends and the transfer of equity shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) Authority. Dividends declared for the financial year 2018-19, which have remained unclaimed for seven years, will be credited to the IEPF after August 31, 2026. Correspondingly, shares on which dividends have been unclaimed for seven consecutive years will also be transferred to the IEPF as per the laid-out procedures.
The company has communicated individually with affected shareholders and made details of shares liable for transfer available on its website. Shareholders are urged to claim their dividends before they are transferred to the IEPF. The company will issue duplicate share certificates for shareholders holding shares in physical form, which will then be converted to DEMAT form and transferred to the IEPF. Original certificates will be cancelled. For shareholders holding shares in dematerialized form, the company will inform the depository for the transfer of shares to the IEPF's DEMAT account.
Once dividends and shares are transferred to the IEPF, claims can only be made from the IEPF authority. If no communication is received from concerned shareholders by August 24, 2026, the shares and dividends will be transferred to the IEPF. Future benefits and dividends on these shares will also be transferred to the IEPF. Shareholders can contact the company at investor.relations@cosmofirst.com or its Registrar and Transfer Agent, Alankit Assignments Limited, for any queries.
