I've found a Share Certificate!!!

Hi there,

I've just come accross a share Certificate that I purchased in the year 2000, It is in Birchin International???

Googled it, it changed it's name to Park Row Group Plc. 07/05/2002. Googled this put it into the London Stock Exchange homepage etc nothing. Well not telling me how much it's worth today???

The last share price that I can obtain is 2003, and thats just by putting it through Google again:confused:

I'm guessing the company is no more?

Robin

    Seems to have been swallowed up by Royal Liver but not sure what impact that would have on your original shares - I had something similar with a share cert I had - turns out they had done a 10 for 1 share consolidation with my company.

    No Response, I sent it to a completly different company, so I E-mailed Park Row, they got straight back to me and confirmed the above but I'm still none the wiser as to how many pennies my certificate is actually worth...

    As I dont at present know how many Park Row Shares I Own.

    Anyway I got the correct E-mail and received an Auto Response. I'm getting some where...

    :rotfl: Hooray...:rotfl:

    They were converted at a ratio of 1:100 and I was given a Cheque for the amount £25.76 on 26th May 2003... Which is Correct.
    Oh and they also say I can destroy the Certificate.

    Would I really want to keep it???
    Thanks to every one that helped me with this...

    Robin, I believe your Birchin shares have finally been converted to a company call ILX Group. They are still listed and I have a few shares with them to remind me of stupid the stock market was around 1999-2000.

    I did my PRINCE2 course with them last year...

    That's all the experience I have with them.
