So this is where I get confused….

This isn’t really a dividend is it? In essence they’ve bought back 3137 of my shares and reduced my holding to 2797, when i didn’t want to sell - due to price. So surely this is either a capital gain or capital loss on the original purchase price of the 3137 shares they have taken off me? Can you clarify for me please?

Thank you.

So that is quite a loss for me from last year….I wanted to cash in at £2.45 but had used up my capital gains allowance.😫😫

P.s. have owned this quantity since last year.

Hi,

Can someone simply tell me. On 20th May I owned 5934 Capricorn energy shares. What are the implications of this ?

What am I expected to receive as regards dividend / reimbursement of shares returned by company in monetary terms and the new share quantity? Many thanks.

Having a bad covid and pneumonia brain fog day.

I have Parkinson’s…tapped the post prematurely!

Sorry if my post isn’t very explanatory.
I’m not expecting that scenario as you describe. Equiniti have told me that I now don’t own any Melrose shares at all….non registered in my name….just DWL shares.
Which suggests that for every 3 Melrose shares I had at close yesterday I now only have the one Dwl share. Will have to see what transpires….

No I’m not expecting that. Equiniti told me that I now don’t own any Melrose….just DWL

……so I am confused ????????????????????

I checked with equiniti and my share certificate and ref no with Melrose is no longer valid/ recognised.It has been replaced with a new share cert and shareholder ref No with Dwl for a third of the original no. Melrose has also been taken out of my share portfolio.

Have just spoken to Equiniti; apparently we have been given one share in DOWLAIS for every three we owned in Melrose. so our share holding is reduced to a third……at at only £1 per share??? Means a huge loss it seems??

Hi, I purchased some Smiths shares yesterday. Will I be eligible for a dividend as the 7th is the ex div date?

…..Just sold half of my holding for 2.24 which takes me just below the capital gains threshold and leaving the rest to fate - as opposed to submitting a TO.

Johhnytaffiia…..you have expressed my thoughts exactly!
I think I’m going to do nothing regarding the TO but see the state of play post TO.

Hi Wokinpark.You said you are going to read the reports and decide whether to stay. I read everything they print but am still non the wiser…so any pointer to comprehending the facts is very much appreciated. :)

Wokenpark…. Would you please enlighten me as well! So confusing. Many thanks.

Expected to go ex on the 24th Feb…..with payment on 18th March! ???

I desperately need to cash some, but it would be fool hardy to do so before the 24th!

That was a tongue in cheek question! I don’t think there is one!

I see the ex div date for the proposed dividend has been put back to the 24th Feb with payment on 18th March. Waiting for tHe Indian funds?

Just rang the GSK investor helpline. The payments in July and April were withheld as they didn’t have my bank account number then?!*!
So both payments being paid in the next few days. Nice surprise.
