JustMatt - see pedantics 10:36 post for full info.
I believe the certificate can be issued electronically the same day and Share Register will be aware within 48 hours at which point you can vote via them phone numbers etc in pedantics post - you should just have enough time to do it.
Is anybody else having issues registering their vote through an IG nominee account? I emailed IG to ask for the procedure and was sent a link to a section of their own website which basically said go to the Sirius website and search for the AA proposal and download the proxy forms, fill in personal details etc etc and then send to them to us 7 days before the vote. On the Sirius website I could only find forms with Sample written across them. So emailed Sirius and asked where the forms are hidden only to get an email back directing me to Asset Link Services. Phoned Asset Link and they explained that because my shares are held in a nominee account my name is not on the register but counted under IG. They said get back onto IG and explain they need to do the voting on my behalf. Phoned them yesterday and was promised a call back today, call hadn't come by 1630 so I called them again. The lad tried to send me on the same loop but I soon stopped him, he said really it needs to be dealt with by their corporate actions team who finish at 1600hrs Arghhhhh! Now need to call back Monday. I this happening to anybody else?
On my other account the Halifax were sound, me and the wife have both voted No over the phone.
One more thing, is this Cutifani for real? he promotes the offer of 5.5p certainty as a positive, the only certain is most of us are losing substantial amounts of money. If certainty was why we invested then the building societies 1% would be the place. He then promotes the certainty of the project being good for the area - OK I accept this but not when so many locals get wiped out. The local economy deficit created by local investors losses by this deal will take years and years to recover. Got to be a better way.
John2015 - i’ll call them first thing Monday and insist its done that day. Is there any other info you can provide which I can run through with them on the phone so this is done? Got impression they don’t understand the electronic process themselves - so any guidance I can give them may be useful.
Wife has just organised the certificated share from HL in respect of her shareholding and will be voting no on both votes. I wish I had retained my larger shareholding, knowing what has occurred in the last 3 weeks, concerning individual shareholders’ determination and group action.
justmatt HL did it for me by close of play today - I asked them at lunchtime. They initially said it would take a week but when I (politely) persisted said they could do it in one day electronically.
Ive just called First Direct and they told me that to take one share as a share certificate will take 2 - 6 weeks so I cant do this. Anyone been told the same? It told them other banks can pull a vote into a share certificate and register electronically the same day but they said this isn’t something they can do.
Buy a few shares outside your SIPP or ISA and ask for them to be withdrawn to a certificate ?
Just voted No to both options. Spoke direct with Halifax, I previously received proxy forms a week ago however wanted to vote over the phone.
I asked about interest and the lady advised the previous called was also ringing to vote on SXX.
Drove past the Woodsmith mine earlier and was surprised to see 5 cranes in operation which is an increase on lat month. I would of thought cash preservation would of been important to SXX until they had confirmation of the future!
Vote No
ffc... I thought I'd done this morning. But you and fred have planted a seed of doubt. I've made several calls to them, the chap I spoke to today was a little vague on the SIPP but assured me that it was done on the ISA. So maybe I have registered 3 votes not 4. Probably too late now for me to chase it, I think the deadline is end of play today.

My understanding from HL is that a share can be withdrawn from an ISA account as long as one confirms that that share will lose the ISA status. As far as I know, if a share is withdrawn from a SIPP account, that has implications for the pension, not sure how exactly, but HL recommended not to go down that route. Best option is to withdraw a Share from a general trading account or Fund & Share account. Hope this helps.
I was told you can’t get any shares out of a SIPP - they seemed quite definite
I have called hl so many times I’ve lost the will ——
Just checking but has anyone managed to pull a share for the single vote out of a Sipp ????
I was told you can only do that with an isa?
It seems it’s to late other than the isa method to do it ???
Just voted no through HL. Also requested a certificated share so I can vote as an individual shareholder (very straightforward process)
Just voted NO through Barclays
