"I don't want no liquidation!" How to apply for forced conversion of Ozon depositary shares into ordinary shares as a shareholder in Ozon.
In this webinar we inform investors in Ozon about the process of applying forced conversion of Ozon depositary shares into ordinary shares as a shareholder in Ozon. It is highly recommended to apply for forced conversion in order to prevent liquidation of your depositary shares in Ozon by BNY (the depositary bank).
Topics that will be covert are the opening of an account to receive ordinary shares in Ozon, the legal framework and how to practically go through the process of forced conversion.
More information on forced conversion of Ozon depositary receipts can be found on the website of Ozon: https://ir.ozon.com/en/redomiciliation.
Webinar
I want those shares! How to apply for Evraz NTMK shares as a shareholder in Evraz Plc.
In this webinar we aim to inform investors in Evraz about the process of applying for direct ownership in Evraz NTMK.
Topics that will be covert are the opening of a brokerage account with Cifra broker, the basic conditions for claiming Evraz NTMK shares and how to go through the process if you either were issued Evraz share certificates before August 5th 2022 (lucky you!) or if you held your shares via a broker after the 4th of August 2022 (this means the process is a bit more complicated).
Webinar
Where's my money? How to claim unpaid dividends on Russian securities.
In this webinar (in English), jointly organised by the European Association for Holders of Commonwealth of Independent States Securities (www.eahciss.org) and Itlektis.ru, we aim to inform investors in Russian companies on how to claim unpaid dividends.
Many Western investors did not receive their dividends on their Russian investments. We'll go through the different pieces of legislation and explain which unpaid dividends can be claimed by whom and whether they are paid into limited so called type "C" accounts or not. We'll also go through the process of claiming unpaid dividends and the benefit of having a Russian based representative.
