Paper Share Cert

EMitch

I have a physical share certificate for BOI stocks and would like to know how to digitize and sell the shares as a non-resident?

When I purchased the shares many years ago I lived in Ireland but now live in the US. My broker in the US cannot assist with the securities and I cannot open an account with an Irish brokerage as I am no longer a resident in Ireland. I have been in touch with ComputerShares, your registrar and they advised so speak to BOI direct.

How can I sell the shares or can they be transferred to someone in Ireland who can sell them on my behalf?

Declan,

I have contacted both ComputerShare and BOI Investor Relations and both refer me back to the other. How do I proceed and who do I need to contact to clear this up?

Bank of Ireland Reps

In this case we would advise you to locate a share dealing service to sell these on your behalf and you will need to source an independent stockbroker to guide you through the process.

Thanks,

Declan

Decan,

Davy/Goodbody/DeGiro all referred me to BOI as the 'only' ones who can assist in this matters does ComputerShare Ireland/UK and the US. So I'm led to believe, obscure and all that my request is, that there is hopefully someone at BOI who can assist.

We have checked this for you in further detail and the Investor Relations team have no access to bank or private shareholder account information. Computershare deal with queries relating to dividends, address changes, lost and stolen certificates. To transfer share certificates to digital you will need to contact a shares transfer agent.

You will need to source this independently.

Unfortunately, Bank of Ireland are unable to assist further with this.

Thanks,

Declan
