Nov 27 (Lagos) - The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has extended by 1 year, the deadline for consolidation of multiple accounts into a single account by December 31, 2019 (previous deadline was December 31, 2018).
The affected investors are those that:
- Subscribed to shares of the same company with different name combinations or multiple/different names during public offers.
- Shares purchased through Stockbrokers, Registrars, Banks or other Capital Market Operators in any combinations of names.
- Unclaimed Dividends arising from the purchase of shares of the same company using different names.
The Commission, after a review of the progress made so far, decided to extend the exercise to allow more Investors key into the initiative and take possession of their outstanding unclaimed dividends and bonuses.
