Q: How do I register the death of a shareholder?
A:
You should contact Capita (IRG) Limited in the first instance who will arrange to send you the relevant forms for completion.

A Grant of Representation from England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are accepted. A Grant of Representation issued by a Commonwealth country/territory or the Republic of South Africa will also be accepted, as long as it had been resealed in England by the High Court of Justice. For all other countries (including Republic of Ireland, Isle of Man and Channel Islands), a UK Grant of Representation sealed in the High Court of Justice is required.
If, however, the market value of the shares is less than £10,000, and the overall value of the estate is less than the inheritance tax threshold, it may be possible to use a special small estates procedure. Please contact Capita (IRG) Limited for the relevant forms.

Q: Does Petra Diamonds Limited have a dividend policy?
A:
The Company has not declared or paid any dividends to date. The payment of any future dividends will depend upon earnings and the Company’s financial condition, current and anticipated cash needs and such other factors as the Directors consider appropriate. The Directors do not intend to declare or pay a dividend in relation to the Company in the foreseeable future as the Directors anticipate that the Company will retain future earnings and other cash resources for the operation and development of the business. Subject to the availability of sufficient distributable profits, the Directors do intend to commence the payment of dividends when it becomes commercially prudent to do so and to adopt a progressive dividend policy thereafter.
