Company lost share details

[mackem35]

Two years ago worked for an American company but based in the UK. I bought some shares through my salary and have just let them sit. Anyway. went on the ex-employees website and I appear to have zero shares and when I click on my details it just tells me to refresh the page. Emailed the company regarding the shares and phoned their help desk asking if it was a problem with the website but heard nothing back. Searched the web and the only thing I can find is reference to lost share certificates but I was never given any certificates and have never had any contact from the company since I left regarding the shares. Anybody know whether I can contact the say the FSA or where I stand. If I wanted to sell the shares tomorrow I can't and feel the company is taking the proverbial. Thanks and waiting for the abuse.

If it's a share save scheme you are usually tied in to three or five years before you can sell them.

Where is the company listed?

NYSE but the UK & I is based out of Dublin if that makes any difference. Thanks.

I really have no idea about a stock listed in New York. If it was listed in the UK you could contact the company registrar.

Surely if bought through your salary, there'd be a statement about it, or even an e-mail from that time ?

Nope, Shares you paid for via salary sacrifice you can sell them, but you need to wait a certain period of time to avoid the Income Tax on them. If they were awarded as part of a bonus scheme then you have to wait.
