The Great Eastern Shipping Company Limited has informed the exchanges about newspaper advertisements published regarding the transfer of equity shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). The notices were published in Business Standard (English, all editions) and Sakal (Marathi, Mumbai edition). The advertisements notify shareholders that shares on which unpaid dividends have remained unclaimed for seven consecutive years or more are liable to be transferred to IEPF authority. Shareholders who have not encashed dividends for the past seven years were individually communicated by the company. The deadline to claim dividends and prevent share transfer is August 20, 2026. Shares held in both physical and demat form are covered under this exercise. The company has also opened a special window from February 5, 2026 to February 4, 2027 for transfer and dematerialisation of physical securities purchased or sold before April 1, 2019 that were previously rejected or remain unprocessed.
This is a compliance-driven corporate action with no direct impact on the company's financials or operations. Affected shareholders who fail to claim unpaid dividends by August 20, 2026 will permanently lose ownership of their shares, which will be transferred to the IEPF account. The stock price impact is neutral.
