Royal Mail Shares

Growingold

I did not accept the offer to sell my shares but see today a payment by IDS PLC in my bank account which means they must have been compulsorily purchased.  Works out to the offer price of £3.60 per share.  Does anyone know if the Special Dividend of 8p per share will still be paid if compulsorily purchased.  
Looking through my paperwork to find the original price I purchased them for in October 2013 (to see if I have a profit or loss for Capital Gains purposes).   Have every bit of paper since but can't find the original purchase letter.   Will dig out my old bank statements .

Yes but it’s already been paid, 14/05.

 If all your shares relate to the 10/13 IPO the issue price was 330p.

Saw the payment on 24/05 but didn't realise that was the final dividend payment of 8p per share.  Thanks for clarifying and also the info for the issue price.
