Hi, does anyone know how to find out the current value of some old 1980s AIB shares? AIB shares are currently managed by a company called computer share but the investor reference umbers they are looking for do not match the share cert numbers on the AIB 1980s share cert so I can’t check their current value. Thank you.
AIB was close to going under so they issued billions of new shares at a very low price to the government, which effectively diluted existing shareholders to nothing.
In case you don't know it already, it may be possible in this case to claim a CGT loss and offset it against a future capital gain under the "assets of negligible value" rules. Search for info about it on Revenue if necessary.
