IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ AND BE READY TO ACT
We are in the process of writing to all of our 32,000 members informing them of their options in respect of their shares held in the SU share scheme (SUSS). The letter has to be compliant with regulatory requirements, so it will be a long and wordy document, but we have to act in our members' best interests and in accordance with the law at all times.
The letter will be arriving in members' letterboxes later this week and requires an instant response, given the very tight deadlines imposed on us by Glazer and our brokers. We must have your reply by Wednesday 8 June, otherwise we will be selling your shares on your behalf in accordance with our SUSS rules.
SU is not allowed to give any financial advice, but we can give guidance as
to what your directors and committee members are doing. We intend to keep
a number of shares as our emotional investment and to ensure that as minority shareholders, we can make our voices heard as loudly as possible.
There are a number of interesting tactics we can apply if we can remain shareholders. However we will be accepting the offer for most of our shares (so that we can put Glazer's money to work for us and maximise his
debt) to create a 'Phoenix Fund' that we intend to use to buy our club back when the opportunity arises. The value of those 18% of shares held by the smaller shareholders is around 140 million pounds so this is potentially significant if we can capture even a fraction of that into the Phoenix Fund.
This is the option which we think will best further our continuing independence campaign and we urge all of our members to give this option serious consideration ("transfer part back to me and sell the rest with proceeds going to Phoenix Fund" option 4 on the web form or option 1 if you do not wish to transfer any shares but do wish to sell all your shares with proceeds going into your Phoenix Fund account. Option 1 is the default if we do not receive any instructions from you by the deadline. Note that sale and transfer of funds to the Phoenix Fund account is the only option which incurs no charges). The letter to members and the Form to be completed and returned to SU is now available to be viewed on our website, at
http://www.shareholdersunited.org/shares
We need original signed letters though, whether you complete the online Form or not. Transfers of shares back to members incurs stamp duty and other costs and therefore we must have payment for transfers no later than 13th June.
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE STILL NEED THE ORIGINAL SIGNED LETTERS TOO EVEN IF THE LETTER ARRIVES AFTER THE WEDNESDAY DEADLINE AS WE WILL ACT UPON YOUR ELECTRONIC INSTRUCTION IF NO PAPER INSTRUCTION IS RECEIVED BY THE DEADLINE
IF RECEIVED BEFORE THE DEADLINE, PAPER INSTRUCTIONS WILL OVERRIDE ANY OTHER INSTRUCTION
