All Royal Mail employees were granted shares in the company as part of a flotation five years ago – and as of 15 October, employees can sell their stakes without paying fees for the first time.
Royal Mail’s shares collapsed 28% following a profits warning last week, however, meaning some owners can expect £3,300 each compared to the £4,500 they would have expected or planned for last week.
Are you a Royal Mail shareholder who had been looking forward to this windfall and now disappointed? Had you planned to use the money for a holiday, DIY or to pay off debts? We would like to hear your story.
