Egg Shares

PJW_3

many years ago i bought shares in Egg plc (the bank). I misplaced the certificate and presuming lost I forgot about it. I have recently recovered the certificate but Egg to not appear to be trading anymore (taken over I assume). Can anyone help me find a site or someone who can help me find who these now refer to and if they are worth anything.

ormer Egg Shareholders


In December 2005, Prudential made an offer to the minority shareholders in Egg to acquire the remaining 21 per cent of Egg shares on the basis of 0.2237 new Prudential shares for each Egg share held. On 4 April 2006, over 90 per cent of acceptances had been received, which then enabled Prudential to compulsorily acquire the remaining Egg shares on 16 May 2006. If you were formerly an Egg shareholder, your Egg shares have been compulsorily acquired by Prudential and new Prudential shares have been issued to you. If, however, you did not accept the original Prudential shares, your new Prudential shares are being held in trust for you and you will need to claim them formally. When you do claim them, you will receive your Prudential share certificate and a cheque in respect of the dividends which have accumulated. As an example, if you used to hold 470 Egg shares, you will now hold 105 Prudential shares.
We do encourage former Egg shareholders to claim their Prudential shares, so that you can then access your full rights as a Prudential shareholder. All you need to do is to write to our Registrars at the address below claiming your shares and sending your old Egg share certificate and some proof of identity. If you held your shares in the Egg share account, you will not have a share certificate and will only need to prove your identity and that you did indeed hold Egg shares.
