What happens to dividends and other corporate actions on a tokenized stock?
If a company whose tokenized stock you hold on Pluang pays a dividend, you receive it as additional tokens of that tokenized stock, even though a tokenized stock isn't a share. Tokenized Stocks on Pluang are facilitated by PT Bumi Santosa Cemerlang, a Digital Financial Asset Trader licensed and supervised by Indonesia's Financial Services Authority (OJK). The tokens are added to your holding, so the dividend shows up as a higher token balance in your portfolio. The value you receive may be reduced by taxes that apply to dividends from US companies. Not every company pays dividends, and many fast-growing companies don't. Other corporate actions, such as a stock split or a change of name or ticker, can change your number of tokens or the token's details, but they don't change the value of your holding by themselves. Pluang announces these changes in the app when they apply. Because a tokenized stock carries no voting rights, there are no shareholder votes for you to take part in.

Related questions
Q: When will I receive a dividend?
The timing depends on the company's dividend schedule. When a dividend is paid, the additional tokens are added to your holding, and you can see your updated token balance in your portfolio. The company decides whether and when to pay a dividend, so there may not be one. If a dividend you expected doesn't appear, contact Pluang Care with the ticker and the date so the team can check it.
Q: Is tax deducted from dividends?
It may be. Dividends from US companies are usually subject to US withholding tax, so the value of the tokens you receive may be lower than the dividend per share the company announces. Your portfolio shows how many tokens you hold after each dividend, so you can check what was added at any time. Keep these records for your own tax reporting.
Q: Do I get voting rights at shareholder meetings?
No. Holding a tokenized stock doesn't make you a shareholder of the company, so you can't vote or attend shareholder meetings, and you won't receive voting materials. Tokenized stocks give you exposure to the company's share price and pay any dividends as additional tokens, but they don't give you the rights that come with owning the share itself. This applies to every tokenized stock on Pluang.
Q: Where will I be told about a corporate action?
Pluang announces corporate actions that affect a tokenized stock in the app when they apply. After a corporate action, check your portfolio to see your updated balance and the token's details. If your balance looks wrong after a dividend or a split, contact Pluang Care with the ticker, the date and a screenshot of your portfolio so the team can check it.
