is the share certificate lost or stolen?
• if there is more than one shareholder, all parties must sign any communication. Once our registrars have received your communication they will send a formal letter of indemnity for completion. If you wish to sell your shares, some stockbrokers will accept the completed letter of indemnity instead of the missing certificate. An administration fee may be charged by our registrars for this service. If the certificate is found after the letter of indemnity has been issued this charge will still apply. Please note that any transfer or sale of shares using a certificate that has been reported lost or stolen will be rejected unless the letter of indemnity is returned to our registrars with the administration fee and confirmation that the share certificate has been found. Where the shares represented by the missing share certificate have a value exceeding £100 it is necessary for the letter of indemnity to be counter-signed by a suitably authorised bank, insurance company or guarantee societ
