United Breweries Reminds Shareholders of Unclaimed Dividends and Shares for Transfer to IEPF
United Breweries Limited is reminding shareholders about unclaimed dividends and shares liable for transfer to the IEPF. Shareholders must claim outstanding amounts by September 30, 2026, by submitting necessary documents. Failure to do so will result in the transfer of both dividends and shares to the IEPF Authority.
This is a standard regulatory compliance action for unclaimed dividends and shares, with no immediate material impact on the company's operations or financial performance.
The announcement is a routine regulatory communication regarding unclaimed dividends and shares, with no positive or negative financial implications for the company itself.
United Breweries Limited (UBL) has dispatched reminder letters to shareholders who have not claimed their dividends for seven or more consecutive years. These unclaimed dividends, along with the corresponding shares, are liable for transfer to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) Authority as per Section 124(6) of the Companies Act, 2013, and related rules.
The company has sent these reminders via book post to shareholders whose dividends for the Financial Year 2018-19 remain unclaimed as of May 31, 2026. Shareholders are urged to claim their outstanding dividend amounts by submitting a duly signed form along with a cancelled cheque leaf and a self-attested PAN card copy. The deadline for submitting these documents to the company or its Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA) is September 30, 2026.
Failure to claim the amount by this date will result in the transfer of both the unclaimed dividend and the associated shares to the IEPF Authority. While shareholders will no longer be able to claim the funds from the company after the transfer, they will retain the right to claim them directly from the IEPF Authority. The company has also provided a letter of undertaking for shareholders to fill out for the direct credit of unpaid dividend amounts.
