Hi All. Just - finally - sold my 14 shares in Orange SA (part of France Telecom, I believe, but formerly Freeserve, then Wanadoo.
Can anyone tell me what the issue price was of those Freeserve shares - way back in the ?90s - pls?
(Needed for CGT reasons - to show the huge loss...)

Freeserve floated at 150p in 1999 if that's when you acquired your shares, but you'd need to trace the equivalent shareholding through the subsequent corporate transactions, i.e. I assume that your 14 Orange shares don't equate to 14 Freeserve ones:
