AgentOranje - Thanks for this - I will try the email route next. Thanks again
Thanks for the reply - I've read the corporate action in my account, but it does not give any guidance on how to request 'free' certificates. The only thing that they say is they will "endeavour to perform a mandatory commission free sale of any remaining shares held on account." So, it looks like there will be a charge of £42 for certificates. I thought I had previously read on this board, that POLY were likely to pay/reimburse this type of cost for shareholders? I'm just trying to get the facts and best next steps for UK citizens.
Just spoken to II who didn't seem to know what was going on. Quoted me £42 for paper certificates.
Does anyone else use II - what will you be doing and by when please?
Would appreciate some info
Best, Casa
Hello,
Ive only just logged back into POLY chat and would appreciate some guidance (sorry if it’s already been covered). I’ve read through 300 posts and am still not clear what action to take.
I’m with Interactive Investors - have POLY in trading and ISA accounts.
I looked up Freedom, but it appears they don't support UK residents.
Is there a broker people are transferring too? Or is it wise to get the paper certificates ahead of the i listing?
Thanks in advance…

I have a question - If POLY's main customers are Russian banks, who sell it on to international gold markets, are they going to be able to continue to do this? If they are not able to sell it - where's their income going to come from?
I'd be interested to hear thoughts on this....
Thanks, Casa
Hopefully, this will help strengthen the SP....

The purpose of the Share Buyback Programme is to reduce the share capital of the Group in order to return value to shareholders.
Any thoughts on why this has tanked by over 48% today?

Hotel Chocolat Group plc, a premium British chocolatier and multi-channel retailer, is pleased to announce, following the announcement yesterday (the "Launch Announcement"), the successful completion of the placing of ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") (the "Placing"), having received strong demand from existing Shareholders and other high-quality institutional investors. The Company is also pleased to announce the successful completion of an offer made by the Company for retail investors in the UK to subscribe for Ordinary Shares via the PrimaryBid platform (the "PrimaryBid Offer").
A total of 11,112,913 new Ordinary Shares ("Placing Shares") were placed at a price of 355 pence per share (the "Placing Price"). The Placing was conducted by way of an Accelerated Bookbuild process. Liberum Capital Limited ("Liberum") and Peel Hunt LLP ("Peel Hunt") acted as joint bookrunners in relation to the Placing. The Placing was oversubscribed.
In addition, retail investors in the UK have subscribed via the PrimaryBid Offer for a total of 154,692 new Ordinary Shares (the "PrimaryBid Shares") at the Placing Price.
Together, the Placing and the PrimaryBid Offer comprise 11,267,605 new Ordinary Shares raising gross proceeds of c.£40 million. The Placing Shares and PrimaryBid Shares (the "New Ordinary Shares") being issued represent approximately 9.0 per cent. of the existing issued ordinary share capital of the Company. As outlined in the Launch Announcement, the net proceeds of the Placing and the PrimaryBid Offer will be utilised to fund capital investment to increase long-term sales capacity and capitalise on anticipated future growth.
Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and it is anticipated that trading in the New Ordinary Shares will commence on AIM at 8.00 a.m. on 27 July 2021. The New Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares in issue. The New Ordinary Shares will represent approximately 8.2 per cent. of the Company's enlarged issued share capital on Admission (assuming no other issuance of ordinary shares prior to Admission).
Following Admission of the New Ordinary Shares, the Company's issued and fully paid share capital will consist of 137,152,447 Ordinary Shares, all of which carry one voting right per share. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in Treasury. The figure of 137,152,447 Ordinary Shares may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company, under the DTRs.
Angus Thirlwell, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, said: "The £40m growth capital raised today will be invested in our fast-growing business, furthering our aim of becoming a global digital-led chocolate brand. I'm delighted that our issue was oversubscribed, demonstrating the suppo
Two days left to go to meet this target deadline....
Taken from the last RNS (May 21) - "The parties remain committed to finalising the transaction as soon as possible and are targeting completion and admittance to trading on the Main Market towards the end of this quarter".
