Sobha Limited will transfer unclaimed dividends for the financial year 2018-19 and the associated equity shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) in October 2026. The transfer follows the completion of a seven-year period during which the dividends remained unclaimed, as mandated by Section 124(6) of the Companies Act, 2013. Shareholders who have not claimed their dividends for seven consecutive years starting from FY 2018-19 will have their shares transferred to the IEPF.

The company has issued individual notices to affected shareholders at their last known addresses and published an advertisement in newspapers on June 02, 2026. The full list of shareholders, including folio numbers and details of shares liable for transfer, has been uploaded on the company's website. The dividend amount is due for transfer to the IEPF after the closure of the seventh year on September 15, 2026. Consequently, the equity shares will be transferred to the IEPF on October 15, 2026.

Process for Shareholders

Shareholders must communicate with the company before September 15, 2026, to claim their outstanding dividends and prevent the transfer of shares. Once the shares are transferred to the IEPF, no claims will lie against Sobha Limited regarding the unclaimed amounts or the shares. However, shareholders can reclaim the dividends and shares from the IEPF Authority by following the procedures prescribed in the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (Accounting, Audit, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016.

For shareholders holding shares in physical form, the company will issue duplicate share certificates for the purpose of transfer to the IEPF. These duplicate certificates will be converted to dematerialized form and transferred to the IEPF's DEMAT account, automatically cancelling the original certificates. Shareholders holding shares in dematerialized form will see their shares transferred to the IEPF's DEMAT account via corporate action.

Shareholders with queries can contact the Secretarial Department of Sobha Limited or its Registrar and Transfer Agent, MUFG Intime India Private Limited. The company has clarified that the details uploaded on its website serve as adequate notice regarding the issuance of duplicate share certificates for the IEPF transfer.
