Buying / selling shares

[balancap (Paul B.)]

Hello,

I have been an early investor in Freetrade, and still believe in their team.
Unfortunately, due to some recent personal events, I have to liquidate a few of my assets, including my Freetrade shares. I have currently 6532 shares to sell. Please message me if you want be interested in buying these.

Paul

Hey Paul. Whilst I am sure you are likely to find interested parties, you would be best to contact Freetrade first and foremost and let them know of your intentions, they will be the best to advise on the next steps.

Wishing you best luck in your endeavour and hope all will work out

This might help:

B v A shares selling

They’re very easy to transfer, very difficult to sell. That is to say that if you have a willing buyer at a price you are happy with then great. We’ll process the transfer. Finding yourself a buyer is the challenge. Applicable tax on any sale also applies. For future reference and to emphasise CC’s response: the company itself has to be involved in the transfer. If they / we aren’t aware it’s taken place and updated the relevant records accordingly it effectively hasn’t taken place (in law).

and this post, which explains share types, as A and B have different rights etc:

Freetrade’s CrowdCube Fundraise

Our standard advice on the transference of shares is as follows: The ability to transfer shares depends on the Articles of the Company in question. Under the Crowdcube Articles currently in force, B Investment Shares are freely transferable, and the company must be notified of the transfer. A Ordinary shares cannot be transferred until the pre-emption on transfer provisions are complied with, essentially A Ordinary Shares must first be offered to the other holders of the same shares before …

having shared that, it’ll be best to contact Freetrade and CrowdCube

Hope that helps, good luck!

Thanks for the additional information. I have B investment shares, so it should make it easy.
I had read too that finding the buyer may be the complicated part, so that’s why I was posting first to see if there is any interest.

if someone did buy the shares from a fellow investor can they then claim EIS?

[balancap (Paul B.)]

Thanks for the extra information. By the way, does somebody the exact share price of the last round? I have a rough idea but no clear number to work with.

Thanks,

Paul

@balancap

By the way, does somebody the exact share price of the last round?

The share price in the last round was:

@saf

Share price was £0.521053

Here is the reason why there’s posts mentioning 54p Freetrade’s CrowdCube Fundraise - #497

Feels like a long time ago but it’s only been a few months

[freetrade_cal (Calum McWhir)]

Unfortunately not. The relief is only available for qualifying shares issued by the company. This rules out any post-issuance transfer.

Notable also that you forgo EIS tax benefits if the holding period is < 3 years.

I am interested in purchasing freetrade shares. Please message me if anyone is interested in selling.

Thanks

Hey @balancap have you found a way to sell you shares? I am interested in buying more.

I got in touch with Crowdcube and this is the response I got:

The ability to transfer shares depends on the Articles of the Company in question._

Under the Crowdcube Articles currently in force, B Investment Shares are freely transferable, and the company must be notified of the transfer.

Since you own type B shares (so do I), I believe we would need to notify Freetrade?

That’s correct, Calum’s shared some more details about the process here -

I’ve recently purchased some freetrade shares from a community member. Would anyone else be interested to sell? If so, please PM me.

Thanks

[Diversify (Radical Candor)]

Curious as to what purchase price you settled at… was it the R3 price or negotiated?

[Ms308 (Mike)]

A slight discount from r3 price but not by much.

[JohnDoe]

If anyone has shares to sell I would be interested aswell.

Bargain Especially now that we are seeing real customers on the app

Hello,

I have invested in Freetrade and I’m interested in buying more shares from other investors.

If you have invested less than £20,000 that means you have type B shares which are easy to transfer

Please PM me if you want to sell your shares. The process has taken place before. Once we agree, we need to notify Freetrade to process the transfer.

Cheers,
Michael

It’s like some kind of “marketplace” or “exchange” for people that want to sell these shares and people that want to buy them would be useful
