Villa shares

[London Villan]

Wasn’t it a compulsory purchase of the shares? So all shares were bought?

My in-laws bought my son a single share some years ago. He still has the certificate somewhere and the same letter arrived here a few days ago. I binned it to be honest....I wouldn’t waste my breath reporting it to the old bill they’re friggin useless.

Travel 7 miles an hour over the speed limit though and your life is as good as over....

A few of these were going round after the takeover. I guess it's a routine thing - company goes private, small shareholders who might not know that they inherited a few quidsworth years earlier because their granny lost the paperwork half a century ago get sent a letter and think that for the sake of 15% of what they never knew they had in the first place they might as well let this company do all the paperwork.

All the shares were bought compulsorily but you had to apply for the money.
