share information update

HM Treasury announced on 22nd February 2008 that it had acquired all the shares in Northern Rock and that all entitlements to shares issued by the company had been extinguished by a Transfer Order made under the Banking (Special Provisions) Act 2008. The Transfer Order came into force, and the transfers under it were made at 00:01 on 22 February 2008. Therefore shares cannot be bought or sold.

Details of the tax position of former shareholders following public ownership can be found in the faq’s section.

A list of people who held shares immediately prior to the transfer is being maintained. Therefore no further action is required.

Former shareholders can update their contact details by writing to the Registrar, Capita.
