In order to become a member of the Securities Central Depository, a shareholder must first open a Securities Central Depository Account through the Uganda Securities Exchange (USE). The existing share certificate is then immobilized. This is the process through which securities as per the share certificate are transferred into the clients account in the Securities Central Depository. The details of the shareholder are therefore saved electronically other than in the share certificate.
The Securities Central Depository system operates like a bank account but instead of cash, the system keeps the shares of the account holder. Transfer of shares is done electronically. Share holders are usually able to access their accounts via internet or the mobile phone. (Please see the list of brokers below).
Report the matter to police and obtain a Police letter which you should deliver to the Company’s Head Office at Plot 19/21, First Street Industrial Area. P.O. Box 9815 Kampala.

The shareholder then delivers the introduction letter, the indemnity form and a copy of the Police Letter to the share registrars who then prepare a replacement share certificate for the shareholder. The time frame for replacement of a share certificate may vary depending on the level of transactions at the Registrar.
The current share registrars are Deloitte Uganda. They are located on 3rd Floor Rwenzori House, Lumumba Avenue.

The company is continually looking to update shareholder details to effectively communicate with shareholders so shareholder should be encouraged to send in details through the various forums.
The amount of dividend declared depends on the Company’s profits and the amount of dividend paid to a shareholder depends on the number of shares held at the time of book closure. Interim dividends are based either on quarter or half year results whereas final dividends are paid at the end of ever financial year.
The most preferred mode of dividend payment is through the Bank. It is fast, efficient and secure.
The share price depends on the market forces and thus can never be constant. When the market is low the share price goes down. Expectations of buyers and sellers, with reference to how much profit will be made, also plays an important role in price behavior. If a company does not achieve, shareholders start to sell and look for other shares. On the other hand, when a company performs well and declares good dividends, demand for shares surpass supply and investors are happy to pay a higher price thus the price rises. In addition, when prospective buyers outnumber sellers, the share price rises whereas when the sellers outnumber the buyers, the share price lowers.
There is no limit on the number of shares a person can purchase so long as the shares are available on offer.
Upon receipt of an expired cheque, a shareholder is required to return the cheque to the Company. However sufficient justification for not cashing the same is required as cancelling cheques comes at a cost to the business. The cheque is then be cashed by the Finance Team and the money is given to the shareholder. Shareholder should be encouraged to constantly update their personal details e.g. postal addresses check their boxes regularly to ensure the cheques are received on time and contact the company if a few weeks after date announced for dividend payment they still have not received payment.
You can claim your unpaid dividends by contacting the Company’s Legal Department located at the Head Office at Plot 19/21, First Street Industrial Area. P.O. Box 9815 Kampala. The shareholder email address is shareholder@newvision.co.ug. Alternatively, you can call on 0414337835.
It is not possible to claim another person’s dividends however in with certain conditions we could allow someone to collect on behalf of someone else e.g. for a shareholder who is out of the country, if there is a power of attorney.
Transfer of shares is done by the Company’s share registrars (Deloitte Uganda). You will need to produce the shareholder’s share certificate, proof of death, the deceased’s will or letters of administration. It should be noted that dividends are only payable to the member appearing on the share register therefore transfer has to take. However, administrators or executors can claim but there has to be proof that the person is the appointed executor or administrator i.e. the will or letters of administration respectively.
To transfer the shares of a dependant into his/her names is done by the Company’s share registrars. You will need to carry along your share certificate, ID and the dependant’s personal details. You will then be required to fill in a share transfer form authorizing the share registrars to transfer the shares into the dependant.
You can determine the number of shares by referring to your share certificates, or refer to your recent CDSC statement or the most recent dividend warrant or by contacting Deloitte (U) Ltd.
You can only buy or sell shares through a stockbroker. There are currently eight (8) stockbroker firms authorized by the Uganda Securities Exchange to engage in this business. (Please see list of brokers below).
