A Share Transfer Secretary is responsible for maintaining the register of a company’s shareholders. This records the names and addresses of all ordinary shareholders and the number of shares that each shareholder owns. The register is maintained by Corpserve Share Transfer Secretaries. The Share Transfer Secretary updates the register when a shareholder’s personal circumstances or shareholding change, and also send out dividend cheques and share certificates.

A dividend is a payment to shareholders paid out of the Company’s distributable profits. It is paid to everyone who is registered as a shareholder at the record date.

A share certificate is evidence of share ownership. It should be kept in a safe place, as it will be needed if you want to sell all or some of your shares in the future.

When you either buy shares or have them transferred into your name, you become a part owner of the Company. The benefits of owning shares include:

  • a right to receive dividends.
  • the right to attend, vote and speak at meetings of shareholders, including the Annual General Meeting. Each year you will be invited to attend and vote at the Company’s Annual General Meeting. Full details will be posted on this website well in advance of the meeting.
  • the receipt of financial information. Each year a copy of the Annual Report and Financial Statements and Notice of Meeting is provided electronically or by post to all shareholders.

This means ‘without dividend’. Before we announce a dividend, we consult with the dividend procedure timetable issued by the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange and set the ex-dividend date. If you buy shares before the ex-dividend date, you are entitled to the most recently-announced dividend; if you buy after that date, the dividend goes to the previous owner of the shares.

The dividend is based on the number of shares held by each shareholder and is paid to the shareholders on the share register at a specific date known as the record date. This is normally two days after the ex-dividend date. If you receive a dividend and are not sure if you are entitled to it, contact the agent who sold your shares for you for further advice.

Who do I contact about share registration?

For all enquiries concerning shares and/or dividends, please contact the Share Transfer Secretary in the first instance.

When you change address, it is important to inform the Share Transfer Secretary as soon as possible to ensure that the register is updated and you receive all shareholder communications and dividends. You can send a letter to the Share Transfer Secretary, which should include the following:

  • your name in full, as shown on your share certificate(s)
  • your previous address
  • your new address
  • your shareholder investor code

All such correspondence must be signed. For security reasons, the Share Transfer Secretary cannot accept address changes over the telephone or by email.

It is important to inform the Share Transfer Secretary  as soon as possible. You should write to the Share Transfer Secretary giving full details of the following:

  • your old name
  • your new name
  • a copy of any legal documentation, such as marriage certificate or deed poll

Where your name has changed as a result of separation or divorce, and you wish to revert to your maiden name, a copy of any supporting documentation must be sent to the Share Transfer Secretary. All correspondence must be signed. For security reasons, the Share Transfer Secretary cannot accept name changes over the telephone or by email.

Share certificates are evidence of your ownership and should be kept in a safe place. You will need them if you want to sell all or some of your shares in the future. We recommend that you keep a separate record of the certificate numbers and the number of shares each certificate covers in case of loss or damage. Share certificates are posted to shareholders at their own risk.

The Share Transfer Secretary keeps a record of your name, address and the number of shares you own and can arrange to issue a replacement certificate if necessary. If you have lost a certificate, please report this to the Share Transfer Secretary as soon as possible so a “stop” can be put on that certificate. Before a replacement certificate can be issued, you will be sent an indemnity form to complete. This safeguards the Company should a dispute arise over ownership of the shares at a later stage.

If you have several Innscor Africa share certificates you can ask for these to be consolidated into one. Please send them to the Share Transfer Secretary, together with a covering letter. There is a charge to private shareholders for this service. You should retain the counterfoils as they may be required for tax purposes. Shareholders returning certificates might wish to use “sign on receipt” post when returning share certificates.
