I really can`t think of any logical reason why the last batch of shares owed to us hasn`t been allocated yet.
We`ve been paid the premium and the government got rid of them at the end of the financial year in April, is some bugger just too bloody lazy to get the wheels rolling?

There was something about the last batch of shares in the latest Courier, but I’ve thrown it away and can’t remember exactly what it said. But I think it was something along the lines of ‘we’ll get them later on this year’.

Bottom of page 5 ... "We will be making another Free Shares award later this year, so keep an eye out for more information, coming soon."

I'm guessing they probably counted as "treasury shares" (which is nothing to do with The Treasury) and no dividend was paid on them.

They were sold to the Rothschild family. If you don't know who they are, Google them. Get ready for conspiracy theories abound. It's amazing that the media got away with burying this fact, I feel like the only guy who knows...

LOL! Are you Jetblack in disguise?

Taken from the myroyalmail website:

As the SIP 2016 Free Shares had not been given to eligible employees by the time the final dividend 2015-16 was paid (on 29 July 2016), the SIP Trustee will use the dividend due on these shares to buy more shares (likely to be around 300,000 shares).

Keep an eye out for your SIP 2016 Free Shares Offer home mailing, landing at the start of September.



Only joking Jet. :thumbup
