Sundrop Brands Limited Notifies Transfer of Equity Shares to IEPF
Sundrop Brands Limited is transferring unclaimed equity shares to the IEPF by August 22, 2026. Shareholders must claim unpaid dividends by August 7, 2026, to avoid share transfer. This follows Section 124(6) of the Companies Act, 2013.
This is a standard regulatory procedure for unclaimed dividends and shares. It does not directly impact the company's operations or financial performance. The impact is limited to the affected shareholders.
The announcement is a routine regulatory filing regarding the transfer of unclaimed shares to the IEPF. It does not contain any financial performance data or strategic business updates that would indicate a positive or negative sentiment.
Sundrop Brands Limited (formerly known as Agro Tech Foods Limited) has announced the transfer of equity shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). This action is in accordance with Section 124(6) of the Companies Act, 2013, and the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (Accounting, Audit, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016.
The company has published notices in the Business Standard (English) and Telugu Prabha (Telugu) newspapers on May 16, 2026, informing shareholders about this process. The shares liable for transfer are those on which dividends have remained unclaimed for seven consecutive years or more. The final dividend declared for the financial year 2018-19, which remains unclaimed, will be credited to the IEPF by August 22, 2026.
Shareholders who have not claimed their dividends are urged to do so on or before August 7, 2026. The company has already sent physical intimation letters to concerned shareholders on May 13, 2026. Failure to claim the unclaimed dividend by the specified date will result in the corresponding shares being transferred to the IEPF authority. For shareholders holding shares in physical form, duplicate share certificates will be issued and transferred, with the original certificates being automatically cancelled. For shares held in electronic form, the demat account will be debited.
After the transfer to IEPF, shareholders can only claim their shares and dividends from the IEPF authority by applying in the prescribed Form IEPF-5. No claims will lie against Sundrop Brands Limited in respect of shares or unclaimed dividends transferred to the IEPF.
