The 15th is a Saturday. Can we sell them or do we have to wait until the Monday?

Thanks

I saw a TV programme a while back about human nature where a load of kids were individually taken to a room and shown a pile of sweets and told that they could eat them all straight away or they could wait 10 minutes and they would be given double the quantity.

More than half of them decided not to wait. And these weren't stupid kids, just normal ones. You may be surprised how many of your colleagues sell them when they can.

The answer is No, but I am confused by your confusion, it seems pretty clear
Equiniti’s brokers will then try to sell the shares at the best possible share price over the course of the following days.
So you can start the process of selling them, by doing so via the equiniti website, but you won't be able to actually get the money for them on that day.

well, thats assuming the price stays the same over the next 2 years. IF it fell to around the 400p mark you wont have lost much at all.

Factoring dividends and based on todays(3/10/16) price of £4.93, you’d still be £660 out of pocket.
