MyTravel Shares

In 2003 I purchased 1,554 shares in MyTravel. In 2007 MT merged with Thomas Cook. I have just found my MyTravel share certificate but I have now discovered that my 1,554 MT shares are only worth 51 Thomas Cook shares. Anyone know why? :(

    From the merger prospectus it seems as if you would have received one Thomas Cook Group share for every one MyTravel share you hold.

    Are you sure you haven't sold any since the merger or did you sell some before or during the merger?

    Have just checked back my paperwork - I had 3226 MyTravel shares of 10p each which were converted to 107 MyTravel group shares of 30p each.
