Frequently asked questions
From March 1, 2021, shares in the form of a document will be replaced by shares disclosed in the electronic register of shareholders, which will be maintained by the brokerage house. From March 1, 2021, the Company will not maintain its share register, and only those who have submitted share documents to the Company and have been entered in the electronic register of shareholders will be full shareholders of the Company.
Failure to take action by the Shareholder, i.e. failure to submit paper shares to the Company, will result in the loss of rights, e.g. he will not receive a dividend.
However, for the next 5 years, i.e. until March 1, 2026, unsubmitted share documents will retain evidentiary force - i.e. on their basis, the Shareholder will be able to apply to the Company o disclosure in the register. After this date, share documents will lose their evidentiary value by operation of law – their owner will definitely, i.e. irrevocably, lose the qualities of a shareholder.
No. The shareholder responds to the Company's request to return the share certificate and the share certificate should be submitted to the Company (not to the entity maintaining the shareholder register).
If you have already deposited your shares in the Company and you will be disclosed in the register of shareholders kept by the Brokerage House, in order to make further moves you should report to the nearest Customer Service Point of the PKO Brokerage House. This applies to both the sale of shares and their donation, or inheritance matters.
In Bydgoszcz, there is currently one such point: ul. Gdańska 23 (tel. 52 326 13 85)
The costs associated with maintaining the register of shareholders are borne directly by the Company for which the register will be maintained.
However, for all additional activities, related to, among others, the sale of shares, their donation or inheritance matters, fees will be charged to the Shareholder, and their amount will depend on the value and number of shares held.
For each Shareholder disclosed in the electronic register of shareholders, the brokerage house opens a non-public market account to which the funds obtained from the dividend will be transferred. The possibility of paying out dividend funds is available at PKO BP BM Brokerage Service Points, i.e. at most of the Bank's branches (list of branches - link: https://www.bm.pkobp.pl/o-nas/placowki/ )
Shareholders may at PUM:
before paying out the dividend, indicate a bank account (regardless of the bank that runs it) - then on the day of payment the funds will be automatically transferred to this account or
on and after the payment date - withdraw funds at the cash desk, order a transfer.
We recommend indicating bank accounts, thanks to which future benefits will be transferred to them automatically (of course, provided that the account is not closed by the Shareholder, in which case it will be necessary to indicate a new one).
Both the opening of a non-public market account by a brokerage house and the redirection of funds to the bank account indicated by the Shareholder - are free of charge.
Shareholders who are entitled to shares on the day set by the annual general meeting or on the day the general meeting adopts a resolution on the distribution of profits. are entitled to receive the dividend for a given financial year.
