    Depending on how small your shareholding was it may have been repaid in March 2005 for 130p per share (IIRC), if you still had shares at the takeover date you needed to make an election and (possibly, can't remember exactly) return your share certificate to get your cash. As per the earlier post your best bet is to contact the Registrar who will know exactly what occurred.
