RE: Paper Certs28 Jul 2022 13:58
For those who hold shares with Halifax (as I do), they have just said to me: -
"I will post you this article below, then explain: EVRAZ plc: Termination of the registry and associated services - 08:38:57 18 Jul 2022 - EVR News article | London Stock Exchange 18 July 2022 - EVRAZ plc (the “EVRAZ” or the “Company”) informs that Computershare Investor Services PLC (“Computershare”) notified the Company of termination of registry and associated services on 19 August 2022 (“Termination Date”). Until the Termination Date, the Company and Computershare will work together on the transfer and return of services. After the Termination Date, the register will be maintained by EVRAZ. It is anticipated that after the Termination Date CREST members will not be able to transfer the Company’s shares electronically due to the fact that EVRAZ, as holder of the register, will not have access to the CREST clearing system and all transactions will need to go through the Company with a stock transfer form and can be subject to a stamp duty. To secure title to the Company’s shares shareholders may wish to convert their electronic shares into physical paper shares. To receive share certificates shareholders are advised to consult their stockbroker and ensure that proper instructions are given to Computershare prior to the Termination Date. Shareholders who have general queries about the termination of the registry and associated services by Computershare or the conversion of electronic shares into certificates can either call the Registrar’s helpline on +44 (0)370 873 5848; or write to the Registrar, Computershare Investor Services PLC, The Pavilions, Bridgwater Road, Bristol BS13 8AE.

After 22/08/2022 we may not be able to transfer the shares for you at all so they would likely become stuck in the account with no way to transfer them.
You can request a share certificate via phone on 03457 22 55 25."
Guess I had better do that tomorrow.
