You will still a shareholder in whatever form it takes , it could consist of a multitude of corporate events i.e consolidation / cash offer / cash offer plus share in possibly new Company. yes you will pay extra for dealing/trading shares on an overseas exchange and yes monies will need to be converted to sterling for credit on your account should you sell up. Your broker will provide all those facilities at a cost. CGT only payable on your profits as per norm. An example of this is Matra Petroleum another dog of a share now suspended , they went from AIM to Swedish exchange and was holding Swedish line of stock after transformation from UK equity. Wish I sold when they did but would still have been a big loss for me so held and now look at them. Do not compare this value with FFR different animals. If I sold my broker would take care of the sale and convert proceeds to sterling all at an extra cost as classed as an overseas deal. Of course all exchanges charge different costs , and should we relist somewhere then these costs can be attributed and will no doubt be advised by your broker whom you trade with. Hope helps.
