Shareholders' letter
Re: Shareholders' letter
My e mail was never acknowledged not even an automated one
Re: Shareholders' letter
The club has just emailed out a fairly comprehensive FAQ which probably answers a lot of the questions people have been asking.

Re: Shareholders' letter
Yes, just got this and it answers most questions. As I mentioned in an earlier post, we have a share which is in my late father in laws name.
The faqs covers this and explains that we need to give notice to sell within the agreed time limits and that if any transfer of ownership takes longer that is ok.
One question I now have is how we provide notice to sell?
Does an email suffice or are we supposed to provide notice by letter?
Grateful if anyone could advise.
Thanks

Re: Shareholders' letter
It’s just an email with name, email address, no of shares and certificate number(s) to the shareholder email address.1968claret wrote: ↑Sat Oct 16, 2021 11:13 amYes, just got this and it answers most questions.

Just out of interest, are those still waiting for a response using a BT email address?

Re: Shareholders' letter
Would it be possible to post the contents of this for people who don't get the emails? Or is this strictly private and confidential and not for public viewing?
If the latter, what does it say about how long the club credit lasts, and whether it can be passed on on the death of the recipient?

Re: Shareholders' letter
DSR, the email does still say private and confidential. So not sure what the rules are regarding sharing.
However it does say that any unused credit can be transferred to the estate of the deceased.

Re: Shareholders' letter
With several thousand shareholders receiving the original letter and the faqs, I'd say it's pretty much in the public domain now.1968claret wrote: ↑Sun Oct 17, 2021 3:23 pmDSR, the email does still say private and confidential. So not sure what the rules are regarding sharing.

Re: Shareholders' letter
The credit lasts indefinitely and can be passed on should the recipient pass away.

Re: Shareholders' letter
I’m happy to field any questions based on the faq. It does say there is no time limit on the credit and it can be transferred to the owner’s heir or legal beneficiary on their death.dsr wrote: ↑Sun Oct 17, 2021 1:00 pmWould it be possible to post the contents of this for people who don't get the emails?

Re: Shareholders' letter
Just a word of warning, should Burnley FC fall into administration, the Administrators would have the power to null and void any vouchers you may hold!
Re: Shareholders' letter
I am still a shareholder and if you folk sell all yours, it will just be me and the board!
I hope they treat me well!

Re: Shareholders' letter
To be fair, if the club falls into administration the first thing to be worth nothing will be all the shares.

I'm sure that we could work something out whereby I could buy your 2 season tickets - providing, as you alluded to, that the club allow it, that is. I could drop you my email and take things from there?
Once again, thanks!

Re: Shareholders' letter
Me too.
We have to print out a deed, which is sent with the e-mail, sign it in the presence of a witness, and return it by 23rd November. They will send the money by mid-December.
I can see why we have to enclose our share certificate, but why do we need to also send photographic ID? They don't know what I look like.

Re: Shareholders' letter
On the payments page, is 'swift code' the same as sort code?
Top of page 3 'Calver' Vale, poor form to have a spelling mistake on a legal document.

Re: Shareholders' letter
What if you don’t have a printer or copier
Re: Shareholders' letter
A SWIFT code (or SWIFTBIC, as it's sometimes known) is a code that helps overseas banks identify which bank to send money to. For example, if an overseas bank is sending to a payment to your Barclays UK account, they'll need to know our SWIFT code: BUKBGB22.gawthorpe_view wrote: ↑Tue Nov 02, 2021 7:23 pmOn the payments page, is 'swift code' the same as sort code?

They seem to have omitted the ‘sort code’ field, I’d include it though.

Re: Shareholders' letter
Very much more written in "legalese".
No idea about the photo ID requirement.
Poor form to have spelling mistakes.
Some bits not too clear such as "swift code" and the bit with the name and address under the shareholder's and witness's signatures. Assume it's the witness's name and address and profession which are needed.
All feels a bit rushed to me, unlike the initial, very clear communication.
Still, should be a nice surprise to get just before Christmas...now to think about what to do with my club credit...

As it happens I do bank with Barclays so should I use that code BUKBGB22?
Re: Shareholders' letter
Not the most difficult question...
Borrow one, go to the library, use a friend's.
It's for a minimum of £850, you could buy one for less than £50.

I'd guess that the photo ID is intended to confirm that the shares are being bought from the rightful owner of the shares and not just someone who claims to be that person. Does it specify what can be photo ID? Passport, driving license (but not old paper one w/out photo), maybe something else which is official and has photo on it?
Again, I'm guessing, I'd expect witness of the shareholder's signature must be someone independent of shareholder - so, not a member of the family. Name, address, profession, therefore will identify the person signing as witness. Again, protects against paying money to someone who isn't the rightful owner.
If anyone doesn't have their own printer it used to be possible, for a small fee, to use a printer in a library or (some) newsagents and, perhaps, a photo store. Maybe there are still internet cafes around, somewhere...
