I just submitted this to the SEC for review.
https://www.sec.gov/oiea/QuestionsAndComments.html
I am an investor in Generex Biotechnology GNBT. They recently paid out 2 dividends: 1 was 2 shares of GNBT for every 5 shares of GNBT held and the other was 2 shares of Antigen Express (private owned spinoff) for every 5 shares of GNBT owned. The company has issued many public releases and conference calls that stated the record date 2/17/2020, payable date 2/24/2020 and ex date 2/25/2020. This is a larger than 25% dividend, so record/pay/ex dates are different. The company has stated that anyone that owned GNBT on the record date would get their dividends from the company directly. Anyone that buys between the record date and payable date would get their dividends thru the due bill process (from the seller of the shares). Please see the links below to the various disclosures of pending dividend by the company. The company stated on 2/7/2020 that FINRA has approved their dividends with the dates above. However FINRA never listed the actual dividend/split in their daily report until the morning of Monday 2/24/2020. So there was no way for an investor to read the fine print of the 2 pending dividends.
On Tuesday 2/25/2020 (ex date) the dividends are being paid and sorted by the brokerage firms.
On Wednesday 2/26/2020, it was noted by many investors that the private company spin off (Antigen Express) which is 2 shares for every 5 shares of GNBT, were not being paid correctly. Anyone that purchased GNBT shares on 2/13/2020 or after, were not getting the Antigen Express shares. According to all PRs and conf calls by the company, the 2 dividends were mentioned to have the same record/pay/ex dates, therefore all purchases of GNBT thru 2/20/2020 (trade date plus 2 for clearing on 2/24/2020) should have rec'd the Antigen Express dividends thru the due bill process. The company released a news PR Generex Issues Clarification on Stock Dividends https://storage.googleapis.com/wzukusers/user...6_2020.pdf
I have reached out to the CEO Joseph Moscato about no receiving Antigen Express dividend shares for the GNBT stock I purchased on 2/20/2020. I am being told that it never had an ex date and I am not entitled to the shares. I pointed to all the PRs and Conf Calls that the company has released lumping the 2 dividends together. I am told that it was never that way and I should learn how to trade and purchase stock. It is my opinion that the company should have detailed out both dividends with record/pay/ex dates so that it was clear, however they did not.
I have email backup of my conversation with the CEO.
I feel I am entitled to the Antigen Express dividends that would have be given on my 2/20/2020 purchase of 13,500 shares of GNBT, which would have generated 5,400 shares of Antigen Express.
Please provide me with any clarification you have. Thank you.
Generex Declares NEW Dividend RECORD DATE: Monday, February 17,2020
With the new February 17th record date being established, those who are
entitled to receive the 5/2 stock dividend in Generex and the 5/2 stock dividend in
NuGenerex Immuno-Oncology will receive it directly from the company.
In addition, the pay date is now February 24th and ex-date is February 25th. If a
shareholder sells the stock after the record date the pay due bill process will be in full
effect and the shareholder will be required to transfer the dividend stock to the buyer.
The ex-date rule in this situation is found in FINRA Rules Section 11140 (b)(2), which reads
as follows: “(2) In respect to cash dividends or distributions, stock dividends and/or splits,
and the distribution of warrants, which are 25% or greater of the value of the subject
security, the ex-dividend date shall be the first business day following the payable date.”
