Some Holders expected an email from the Brokers notifying them of the Open Offer while some came on here and ask, when they should have contacted their Broker or gone to their Brokers Website for information It has also become apparent that Brokers are setting their own timelines "inside" the 31st August and the 15th September with various cut off days coming to light, with some making their own rules up as far as the Excess Allowance is concerned While it is each Shareholders own responsibility to check for News RNS's and Corporate Actions their money is involved in, many Brokers have been slow on the admin side, haven't been very helpful with some being downright uninterested. On the 16th Sept we get the Open Offer Results, which hopefully will contain a clear break down of the information :- a) Amounts of Holders taking up their Entitlement b) Total Entitlements taken up c) Excess Shares d) Amounts of Holders taking Excess Shares e) Excess Shares left f) Amounts taken by the Capital Group. It would be nice to get a break down of the results, but I won't hold my breath Courtesy Mikey LSE board , Thanks Man! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Abbys questions ,had 18K and wanted 100K more xxxxx It has been made easy for everyone You apply for your Entitlement and any Excess Shares separately 18663 ÷ 9 x 20 = 41,473 (your entitlement) x 0.008314 = £344.80 + 0.5% tax and Brokers fees You say you want a total of 100,000 more Shares 100,000 - 41,473 = 58,527 On the Excess Application column you place :- 58,527 which x 0.008312 = £486.59 + 0.5% tax and Brokers fees You have your entitlement Shares + Excess Shares = 100,000 + existing 41,473
