selling Bank of Scotland (Ireland) Shares

purplepolkadot

Hi all

I have shares in BOSI. BOSI was bought by Lloyds TSB a few years ago and I got a letter saying each of my BOSI shares would be worth whatever in Lloyds shares. I contacted Lloyds and the company that looks after their employee share options with my BOSI shares account number to see what their worth now/sell them, but they aren't familiar with my account number. All I have is a few letters from BOSI.

Any ideas how to proceed? I have no idea what to do, it's not a huge amount of money (it was an employee reward scheme before the big drop in share value, and I kind of forgot about them )

You are now a Lloyds TSB shareholder, get the letter that you got outlining the conversion from BOSI shares to Lloyds TSB and see if there's a Lloyds TSB shareholder number on it, then you need to contact the company which looks after Lloyds TSB share registration.

The company you need to contact is called Equiniti, they're listed against 'Shareholder Enquiries' here......

Can't see that you'll have shares in BOSI which was ICC or Equity BAnk originally. You might have had shares in Bank of Scotland or its successor HBOS (which was subsequently acquired by Lloyds TSB Group Plc which then changed its name to Lloyds Banking Group plc). Probably best to dig the letters out first to establish what exactly you had - whether shares or options and in what predecessor company.

it's definitely BOSI, acquired by Lloyds, shares managed by Equiniti.

I only got the letter to say they were being acquired by Lloyds, with my BOSI number. No letter with my new account number or whatever it would be

When I contacted Equinity they didn't recognise my original BOSI details
