Alliance & Leicester/Santander shares - what's happening?
3 Answers
I have some A&L shares, which I understand were converted to Santander shares a couple of months ago following the take over. In mid-November I got a really strange letter from Santander, which I didn't really understand. Can anyone explain to me what Santander are doing? Are they selling all my shares? I haven't heard anything further since the original letter (which my super tidy husband has helpfully shredded!).
Thanks for any help anyone can give.

Santander are not selling any of your shares.
What they have done is made a rights issue to existing shareholders, including you. The 'right' was to purchase more Santander shares at a fixed price
They are selling your rights issue and will send you a cheque for the proceeds (if any) fairly soon.
Normally you get the choice betwen selling your rights and taking them up - but Spanish law made this impractical for UK shareholders
