Selling shares - certificates lost

[declan11]

I have a small number of almost worthless PTSB shares. I have misplaced my share cert and wish to dispose of them to offset profits from other share sales. Where do I start this process?
Thanks, Declan

Start here:

My Shareholding

Permanent TSB Group Holdings is a leading provider of Retail and SME banking in the Irish Market.

The shareholdings are managed by Link on behalf of ptsb. They will explain what you have to do.

It might be easiest to convert them into an online holding.

Thanks Brendan, I just have 4 and I don't get any regular communication from them

4 shares?

Cost of selling these is prohibitive. Would you consider gifting to charity?

I had the same idea with some shares I hold, but if you gift them then you can't offset the loss against other gains.

Will giving AIB shares to charity allow me access my capital loss?

Q&A: Unless the shares are sold, there’s no capital loss to use
