Delivery of the Unclaimed/ Undelivered Shares Lying with the Listed Companies / Share Registrars

The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (the Commission) has conducted a study to know the quantum of shares lying with various listed companies as unclaimed/undelivered. It has been observed that a large number of shares of some listed companies are either lying with them or with their Share Registrars and Transfer Agents as unclaimed/undelivered, which actually were required to be delivered to the respective members / shareholders. Such shares include undelivered shares issued pursuant to IPOs, bonus issues, right issues etc. Some of the reasons of pilling up of these unclaimed / undelivered shares are return of share certificates as undelivered due to incomplete addresses, shifting of the shareholders from the addresses available with the Share Registrars and/or the listed companies and non presentation of documents evidencing payment for right shares etc. The detail of said unclaimed/undelivered shares is available on the websites of the Commission and all the stock exchanges.

2. All the listed companies and their Share Registrars/transfer Agents are, therefore, advised to make every effort to deliver the said shares to respective members/shareholders.
