Reuters/Vodafone share certificates

Sirlaughalot

Afternoon Guys. I have had a busy week so what I have achieved regarding my shares is limited.  Having said that, I have contacted my bank to supply bank statements to see if I did receive any dividends during the ownership of my shares.

I also had a reply back from the registrars who replaced Lloyds TSB for the Reuters shares and here it is

Thank you for your email, which was forwarded to ourselves to assist with.

We were registrar at that time.  Reuters became Thomson Reuters on 17 April 2008.  In 2009, there was a unification of Thomson Reuters PLC and Thomson Reuters Corporation through a Scheme of Arrangement.  please see the below information:
 

On 8 July 2009 the Board of Thomson Reuters announced the principal details of the proposed unification of Thomson Reuters PLC and Thomson Reuters Corporation businesses and the Management Information Circular issued on 8 July 2009 provided full details of the proposals.

Existing Thomson Reuters PLC shareholders would receive:-

For each Thomson Reuters PLC Ordinary Share     :    one Thomson Reuters Corporation Common  Share          

Under the Scheme, all Thomson Reuters Corporation Common Shares will be held in uncertificated form and will be traded, cleared and settled through CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. In order to facilitate holding Thomson Reuters Corporation Common Shares in the UK through the CREST system, the company will use the Computershare Depositary Interest service.  Under this service, Computershare Investor Services PLC will issue dematerialised depositary interests (DIs”) representing Thomson Reuters Corporation Common Shares.

Once the unification has happened, Computershare will be administering the CDI’s and Equiniti will no longer act for the company

I hope that this helps.

Dont really understand a great deal about it but if I could ask a general question on this topic.

 In 2003 who was responsible for informing shareholders of company results, dividends and takeover/merger offers?

Many thanks in advance

So that email was from Equiniti (formerly Lloyds TSB registrars)? You need to see what Computershare says about the holding. "Dematerialised" means that new certificates won't have been issued for the London listed CDIs and that your shares will be held electronically.

It's up to shareholders to stay informed, IIRC anything from registrars or brokers is best efforts.

Would dividend payments be automatic  to your nominated bank account?

If it was setup, otherwise the default would be a cheque.

I remember getting dividends from shares I bought in 2001 they came by cheque if I remember correctly.
Things seemed to change when I moved to NW Stockbrokers and a company called Eurocrest. When I closed my account with NW Stockbrokers  Eurocrest sent my share certificates to NWS who forwarded them on to me.
