SRAX (NASDAQ: SRAX) will extend the expiration for its previously announced BIGtoken special dividend right for one year. The dividend right was set to expire on or before 5 p.m. on Dec. 31, 2020, and that deadline has been extended to on or before 5 p.m. ET on Dec. 31, 2021 (

The original dividend right was issued on Sept. 17, 2018, when SRAX, then called Social Reality Inc., announced a nontransferable right to receive at no charge a special dividend to holders of the company’s Class A common stock; the right was also extended to certain holders of the company’s common stock equivalents.
The extension announcement notes that “if and when declared, the Special Dividend will consist of such number and designation of the SRAX subsidiary BIGtoken Inc.’s securities as determined by the company’s management at their sole discretion. . . . The Special Dividend will be an analog security, i.e., not digital, and not a cryptocurrency, and the Special Dividend is expected to be a fractional non-voting security that, if and when issued, is expected to only participate in a portion of the financial performance of the BIGtoken platform.”
Initially launched by SRAX and then spun off as a separate company, BIGtoken, or BIG, is a secure consumer data-management and distribution system —the first consumer-managed data marketplace where people can own and earn from their data (
