Lloyds TBS shares

Primtea

I bought Lloyds TSB shares in the 1990's and have gradually collected about 600 shares as I re-invested any dividends. I know that they became Lloyds Banking Goup around 2009 and I was offered a Compensatory Open Offer at that time, which I did not take up and I received some money (£89) as a 'compensatory payment'. I also offered more shares under a rights issue in Dec 2009 which I did not take up.
I have looked on the Equiniti web site, earlier today, and that indicates that I do have 600 shares. Should I have received a new Share certificate in the name of LLoyds Banking Group or are my old certificates still valid? I have not received any communications since 2009 from Lloyds Banking.
Thanks to anyone who can offer help or advice.

Do you still want them? Are they the only shares you hold?

You may want to sell them and use the £500 odd they are worth to put in a rounded fund in and S&S ISA to diversify a bit, or even a personal pension if you don't need it until 55 and want some tax relief

Having said that Lloyd's will hopefully have some growth in the future

Thanks for your reply and the information. I'm not too worried about selling the shares at the moment. My concern was whether I still owned them as I have not received any information giving details from of how they were performing since 2009.

They haven't paid a dividend for quite a while. I don't recall seeing any annual reports and accounts either. Have you opted out of printed reports and accounts?

If Equiniti say you have 600 shares, you've nothing to worry about, assuming that Equiniti have your correct name, address, and email.

Thanks - that is reassuring news. This is the first time I have posted here and am really pleased with the information given.
