As a caveat they now say.
I got this escalated and the update we got 5 minutes ago was : What if a client wants to retain their holding? If a client pushes that they want to retain their holding then they can request a re-registration to a certificate in their own name. This was not provided as an option on the notification sent to clients as these take 10 working days to complete and there is no guarantee that these would complete before any market suspensions or delisting and clients could be left with the stock in their account with no option to trade. If a client wants to request to re-register their shares to certificate then it should be made clear that this is entirely at the client’s own risk and that we cannot guarantee this would be completed, due to market conditions and timelines.
