Re: Corporation Action Vote 18th Nov On The 12 November I Received this e mail from Fidelity my crest sponsorMicro Focus International - Ord GBP0.135416 (to become GBP0.10)Return of Capital and Consolidation - Update We are writing to let you know that further to our last email to you, the company has announced that the record date for the proposed return of value of 60 pence per share has been postponed until further notice. It is currently envisaged that the revised payment date will be no later than the 8th December 2014. The return of value will be accompanied by a share consolidation on the basis of 0.9285 new ordinary shares for each existing share held. In the meantime, if you require any further information or assistance then please do not hesitate to contact us.Regards,ShareNetworkWhich led me to belive it was held up for a future date.
Corporation Action Vote 18th Nov I previously voted for the B Option but this was ignored and the default A option was applied on the 18th (Deadline date).Was anyone actually able to vote for the B Option on the 18th Nov via their broker? I have raised a complaint with TD Waterhouse who seem to be passing the buck onto Micro Focus. My issue is that TDW could have emailed the Corporation Note out earlier than 7.59pm on the 18th Nov - which I only saw the next morning.Gp
