Woolwich Shares
Lastover
Posts: 1 Newbie
My wife passed away last September, and as part of the "sorting out the paperwork" process, I found a Woolwich share certificate in her name. Unfortunately, no other Woolwich paperwork, just the certificate showing 450 shares. She also had 232 Barclays shares. Am I right in thinking that the Woolwich shares were converted into Barclays shares at some stage? If not, could someone suggest how I proceed from here? As you will have gathered, my understanding of the situation is "extremely vague" to say the least, so any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/875639.stm explains that Barclays bought Woolwich in 2000, with shareholders in the latter receiving 0.1175 Barclays shares for each Woolwich one held.
https://home.barclays/investor-relations/shareholder-information/lost-shareholders/ should be a good place to establish the current situation for the holding.

All Woolwich shareholders would have been issued a new share certificate in Barclays following the take over.0
