To be honest, that would prob be your easiest option. I'm assuming that when you bought them, you just let things be, so I'm not exactly sure how else you'd go about it. When I got mine, I contacted my bank and they sent me a transfer form, so I could transfer them into my bank account, so when I want to sell mine, I can do it online.
If you don't need the dosh, I'd leave it where it is, as people reckon it'll be paying divis of around 5% .... try matching that elsewhere :(
