Hi I'm also really confused by the whole selling shares thing!!
I anyone can help I'd be grateful...
Basically as part of my husbands package at work he recieved shares as part of his bonus yearly.
He's recently been made redundant and has received his share certificate. How do we go about selling them? Could really do with releasing this cash as it works out to be quite a substantial sum of money.
thanks

I was reading halifax site yesterday. They let you sell a cert for £30 and you forward it on within 5 days

Or you can send the cert in first & add to a nominee account and then you sell online which would cost 11.75 I believe or 15 on the phone


Other banks will charge slightly different in that region I think

Questor gave some advice on that, Resolution offered small holders cash for good reason it seems

kamzy

I usually use HSBC InvestDirect for my share dealing, a friend the other day said he uses x-o. Just wondering what the general view on them is, looking at their price i'd be saving £7 a trade which is quite substantial.

Is there something i'm missing?

Hi TSMiggy - I'm in exactly the same position, had some FP shares from the demutualisation and just held on to them, then they were turned into Resolution. And now this rights issue comes up (which they will probably continue with even if the AXA deal falls through, by the way). You (... we ... ) should receive a communication soon to determine what to do with our rights.

What will happen is that your existing shares will be consolidated 30:1 (ie 30 old shares become one new share) and for each new share you hold, they will give you rights to buy 17 more new shares at a discount, at £1.50 per share.

There are a few choices you'll need to make - like do you want to and can you afford to take up your rights in full? In my case I have about 180 old shares, giving me rights to just over 100 new shares. If I exercise my rights then I will have to pay £150 for the new shares. Alternatively, you can sell on your rights, and I believe that would be around 92p each (so I would get £92 back, but my holding would stay at the consolidated position of 6 shares which is now worth a lot less as the stock has been 'diluted' by the new shares issued.)

It's a bit vague yet but you can expect (roughly) a market value of the new shares to be around £2.40 - so if you can afford to buy them at £1.50 there is a gain to be made.

If you just freeze in the headlights and do nothing at all, then I believe your rights will be sold on your behalf, and eventually a cheque will arrive!

There is a final option on offer which goes by the technical name of 'swallowing the tail' in which you can sell some of your rights (I think in this case it works out around 60% of them) and use the proceeds to exercise your remaining rights (ie ~40% - you need to sell 150 to pay for 92). This way you get part of the allocation at no extra cost to yourself - this will be one option you can choose when you get the communication.

If you want more detail, Resolution have posted up all the necessary regulatory notices on their website: www.resolution.gg - obviously the language is a bit turgid, but it explains it all in excrutiating detail

FWIW, I've decided to exercise my rights in full... but that, of course, is not advice in any way shape or form. Just my decision for my situation. But hope it helps, anyway. :beer:

Not sure i quite understand all that,but i do appreciate your reply.I have around 900 shares in Resolution,and to be honest i am just getting fed up with all the messing around.Part of me is thinking,just do nothing and take any cheque i get .
