Trident to transfer unclaimed dividends and shares to IEPF

Trident Limited announced it will transfer unclaimed dividends and associated equity shares to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF). This action aligns with Section 124 of the Companies Act, 2013, and the Investor Education and Protection Fund Authority (Accounting, Audit, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016, which mandate the transfer of dividends unclaimed for seven consecutive years. The company has dispatched letters to shareholders informing them of this impending transfer.

The company has provided a detailed schedule for various dividend transfers, with the earliest due date being February 21, 2026, for the 3rd Interim Dividend of FY 2018-2019, declared on January 15, 2019. Subsequent transfers include the Final Dividend of FY 2018-2019 by November 6, 2026, and the 1st Interim Dividend of FY 2025-2026 by June 27, 2032. Shareholders are advised to claim any unpaid dividends before February 21, 2026, to prevent their transfer to the IEPF.

Shareholders can verify unclaimed amounts on the company's website, www.tridentindia.com. In the event of a transfer, claims can be initiated through an online application (Form IEPF-5) on https://www.iepf.gov.in/IEPF/refund.html, followed by sending a physical copy to the company's Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, KFIN Technologies Limited. The company emphasizes that no claims will be entertained against Trident Limited once shares and dividends are transferred to the IEPF.
