RE: Another broker receives shares?26 May 2022 14:39
I've just spoken with Halifax, as my online shares ISA with them still has these listed as dummy lines. The helpful telephone operator said that the dividend from Open Orphan was never originally going to be issued as shares and was always planned to be issued as a cash equivalent, but that Poolbeg changed their mind in April and only then was the decision made to issue this as tradeable shares (their words, not mine). Halifax received the share certificates from Poolbeg last week, sent them to the registrar early this week, and we customers should get a corporate action notification tomorrow or Monday confirming they will be tradeable from that date. I'll believe all of this when I see it.
Off topic, but can anyone recommend a good provider for S&S ISA accounts, as I think I'm going to be in the market for a new provider soon. Ideally one with low annual fees and low trading fees!
