Morrison's Shares

Hello from a newbie,

I have some Morrisons (Safeway) shares from back in the late nineties.

I am looking for some advice on what to do with them and most importantly do I still actually own them?

What options are available to me and who should I be contacting.

Thanks in advance.

    Wasn’t it an all cash offer in 2021? Did you not receive the money? I’d not, contact the share registrar.

    Looks like Safeway was bought by Morrisons in an all share deal so if you had a Safeway share certificate you should have received a replacement Morrisons share certificate.

    “On 15 December, Morrisons, the only remaining bidder, made a new offer of one share of Morrisons, plus sixty pence for each Safeway share, again with the co-operation of the Safeway board.”

    Do they have up to date contact details for you?

    Morrisons is no longer the same company that bought out Safeway.

    As per above link they were bought out buy a US investment co in 2021.
