Ordinary shares

Lordh64

Hi All.   Please could some explain how to decipher the value of these shares.
They are written as:
Ordinary shares of 6  14/81p each             number of shares 249
Ordinary shares of 12   204/473p each      number of shares 109
I don't know what all the numbers etc refer to?

Hoenir

What are the names of the companies concerned?

As Hoenir writes, do you have the names? Once you have them you can type them into e.g., the LSE's website or Google and you'll find their current price.

My guess for the first one is Centrica: 249 shares * 144.95p = £360.93
The second is National Grid: 109 shares * 1073p = £1169.57

Without wanting to really get into it too far, you don't need to worry about the 'of 6p each,' that's just the base amount they've been issued for and the minimum price they can be issued for.
