From Hargreaves Lansdown
Thank you for your email, and for raising your concerns on the Flybe takeover.
Whilst we understand your frustration, at this stage we are unfortunately unable to comment directly on Flybe’s actions in relation to this takeover. As far as we are aware the takeover process complies with all regulation, and is legal in all respects.
Furthermore Hargreaves Lansdown is an “execution only” broker service which means that our clients make their own investment decisions and use our services to execute their instructions. We offer the information and support for clients to make their own decisions via our website and publications, and the choice of investment and whether to buy, sell or hold is down to the client. This also means that we cannot speculate on the technicalities of Corporate Actions as this could be construed as advising our clients to act in a certain way.
In this instance should you wish to escalate your concerns further I would advise contacting the Takeover Panel on +44 (0) 20 7382 9026, or the investor relations team of Flybe respectively.
I hope this has been of assistance to you. If you have any further queries, please view our Help and Support centre or contact us on 0117 900 9000.
