Certificates for ordinary shares issued by AWG Plc are no longer valid. However, if you held ordinary shares of 19 181/201p in AWG Plc (“Ordinary Shares”) at the time when the company was taken into private ownership in October 2006, but did not formally accept the offer to buy your shares, then your shares were compulsorily purchased and you were sent a cheque for the proceeds. If you did not cash this cheque then proceeds from the compulsory purchase of your shares have been paid into court, and will be retained until shareholders come forward to claim them. You should enquire directly with the courts if you believe any Ordinary Share proceeds are due to you (or the estate you are administering). Please ensure that you retain your share certificate to evidence your right to any funds held.
