RE: Dual listing2 Nov 2020 10:24
Communication on this has been dire. I received nothing from my broker.
I discovered that I could no longer trade my shares recently, and looked into it, starting with the RNS feed, which led me to this letter:
https://www.burfordcapital.com/media/1797/shareholder-letter-crest.pdf
I was one of those that did nothing, because I was unaware. I have been in limbo. According to that letter, as a result of me not making an election my shares would be transferred to a us settlement system, and I would be unable to trade. Nowhere does the letter say that the situation will ever be resolved.
I emailed my broker with a rant about this on Saturday. Today they replied saying that as of today, it is entirely possible for me to trade my shares and the letter above from BUR is misleading as my shares remain on AIM and I can trade them, even though I did nothing. Obviously that's good, although I have not actually tried a dummy sell to test if it's true yet. Whatever has happened it is not in accordance with the letter BUR put out.
I keep a version of my virtual portfolio on III and had to delete and re add BUR. This was something I was unable to do until today. Clearly something has changed as of today, but again no explanation from the company or anyone else.
If my experience is anything to go by, those who did nothing should find the situation resolves itself, which is entirely counter to the letter BUR sent to CREST shareholders.
