Share offer wording.....

Post by mandelsons_toenail »

From the employee share part of the Royal Mail site if you wish to register interest for additional shares.


There is no maximum application amount but, in certain circumstances, you will only receive priority on the first £10,000 you apply for. This is known as the priority limit. Any shares applied for in excess of £10,000 will be treated as if it were a separate application in the wider Retail Offer from someone who is not an eligible employee, and you may not receive all (or any) of the shares represented by this excess application amount. The figure of £10,000 may be reduced if the shares allocated with priority to all employees would otherwise use up more than 10% of all the shares sold in the Retail Offer to employees and members of the public. In certain circumstances, the priority limit could be lower than the minimum application amount.


So are they saying we can only have 10% including any additional shares we may wish to purchase and the public ? :confused

If you read a bit further down it says:

The minimum application in the Retail Offer will be £750 for members of the
Public and £500 for eligible Royal Mail employees under the Employee
Priority Offer (which is in addition to any Employee Free Shares Offer
entitlement they may have). Applications from eligible Royal Mail employees
will receive priority in allocation in the Retail Offer, up to the first £10,000,
subject to an overall limit of 10 per cent. of the total number of shares
allocated in the Retail Offer.


So it's saying we will get the 10% free shares plus a maximum of another 10% for those employees wanting to buy more.
