Karachi: Arif Habib Limited has issued a final notice to shareholders regarding unclaimed dividends that are set to vest with the Federal Government. This move comes in accordance with the provisions of Section-244(2) of the Companies Act, 2017. The company made the announcement on October 31, 2025, and has disseminated the notices through English and Urdu language newspapers, ‘The Nation’ and ‘Nawa-e-Waqt’, respectively, on their October 30, 2025 issues.

The notice informs shareholders that dividends declared by Arif Habib Limited have remained unclaimed for a period of three years since their declaration. Attempts to reach shareholders via registered post on June 27, 2025, yielded limited responses. Consequently, the company has opened a 90-day window from the date of this final notice for shareholders to submit their claims to the Company’s Share Registrar.

According to information available from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the lack of response to previous notices has necessitated this final appeal to shareholders. The company emphasizes the urgency of lodging claims within the stipulated timeframe to avoid the dividends passing to the government.

Arif Habib Limited, as part of its compliance with statutory requirements, urges shareholders to act promptly. The designated market category for this notice is the Pakistan Stock Exchange, where the company is listed. Shareholders are advised to visit the company’s website for detailed information on the dividends and to ensure their claims are filed within the specified period.
