HSL share plan

[Ringothedog]

Has there been any update on how the take up of the share plan is doing. I know it's early days.

Am guessing they may hold off until after the 6th - that is the proposed DD/deduction date and so probably better for them to wait to ensure that they know the actual money come in before making an announcement :dunno:

[Devonhibs]

Well I've just signed up and I feel good for doing it, don't get to many games due to my location but with this, Hibs TV and buying online am happy I am doing as much as I can for our club:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Signed up two nights ago. Hopefully the uptake is good

I handed my application into the ticket office for more shares yesterday afternoon and there were a couple of other folks handing in similar applications.
From talking to other Hibbies it seems that a lot of folks are going to get a mate/family friend etc who already has shares, to buy more for them, then they'll transfer the shares into the 'payers' name in 6 months time. That involves a wee bit or trust, but it seem's to be the popular way to go.
Every other Hibby I know is either buying more shares, or joining the HSL setup :top marks

Signed up for HSL. I'm already a shareholder so I believe that for a greater say in the club the collective route is best. Not sure what the take up will be but 1000 fans gives the club an extra £225k per year. So that's nearly half the mortgage or 1 or 2 extra players in the squad.

How straight forward is that to do? I take it you don't need any outside involvement e.g. IFA's or anything?

And that just shows how pointless the I.F.A. nonsense is.

[Devonhibs]

I understand why the club are doing this but thats a lots of money in other peoples pockets which could have been spent on shares or avoided totally by the HSL route

[NAE NOOKIE]

Gonna take a few weeks by the look of it, but I will be buying shares one way or another.

[007 Mickey Weir]

Sorry to be stupid but is it £18.75 per month minimum. Also could I group together with other people?

You can pay in whatever you want, but full membership is no achieved until £225 has been paid. You can form a group but the group would only have one vote. When you sign up all you do is put the name of the group. Seems fairly straight forward to do on the HSL website

[Eaststand]

Its easy bud, im not giving advice, just reporting what i know folks are doing  so with that in mind, all thats needed is to get an existing shareholder to buy more shares and they then transfer them to the 'buddy' after waiting the required 6 months

[Ringothedog]

You have lost me. If I buy 10000 shares instead of 5000 because someone has given me the extra £200 to buy the shares how are Hibs losing money ? I then transfer the 5000 shares to them at no cost(after the 6 month holding period).

Nobody loses or pockets money.

Your scenario is ok, what he's meaning is that I'll possibly have to pay an IFA £200 odd to buy £200 worth of shares...... instead of all £400 going on shares.

[skedders]

Just signed up. Delighted to be able to make this contribution to the club.

[offshorehibby]

That's me done, money comes off on the 10th. I'm already registered with go cardless so it took me straight there. I thought it would have taken you to an HSL registration page.

[RMQ1967]

Also signed up - very simple process.

Delighted with the direction the club it taking and it's great to be part of it.

There's an option that allows you to pay £10 per month for 23 months.

[Baldy Foghorn]

Hope this is well subscribed. A real chance for us to make a difference....

[Ozyhibby]

Wonder when we will get our first update from HSL on numbers subscribing?
I expect there will be a photo shoot organised with the first lot of shares being handed over from Hibs to HSL.

Eaststand / Eddiethedog, I emailed the club to ask about the above and rather typically received no reply!

I now know it will be possible to transfer shares in 6 months but what I don't know is the cost of doing so. Do you know it'll be free or is that an assumption? I really need to be sure as I'll be responsible transferring shares whenever it's allowed.

In my case i'd likely be transferring shares to around 6 other people and each amount would easily exceed the current minimum purchase so the sum isn't insignificant.

Interestingly 18,750 shares should cost exactly £750 and 6270 / 7062 around £250 and £280 respectively. Some nice numbers to hang on the wall!

I can't mention names in case they were accused of giving advice but I was also curious about transfer costs, so you'll see from my earlier post where I've been recently, and from that although I've got nowt in writing, I strongly believe there are no costs involved to transfer shares to mates etc in 6 months time 

I think shares would have to be transferred by the use of a common form of transfer which I think can be obtained from a law stationer

[Eaststand]

I think shares would have to be transferred by the use of a common form of transfer which I think can be obtained from a law stationer

Around a year ago I transferred shares to my laddie that my late Mum had held, and there was no cost or form from a stationer required.
All that was required was a wee hand written note from me (acting as executer) with my Mums and my laddies details. No cost involved at all and the new share certificate was issued very soon after the form was returned to the Club

[Hibby_Paul]

Quick question following on from above, I'm an existing shareholder and some mates have also queried about me transferring shares to them after the 6 month period.

I'm assuming the minimum amount of shares you can transfer to an individual is 5,000 shares (£200 worth)? If not then could I not technically split that amount several ways to more folk?

Other question, if more than one mate would like to do the option of giving me money, me buy shares and I then transfer over 6 months. Would it be easier to buy these as separate £200 'orders' (assuming that is minimum) to process each to their new owner? Or if I bought a larger sum it could be easily split to different people?

Hope that makes sense, just can't find a clear answer to these points.

Hi Paul
I'm not 100% sure on this but as the 1990's shares were a bit more expensive, my recent shares transfer to my laddie was for a couple of hundred shares.
I reckon if you or anybody else has any queries about shares for mates etc, it might be worth a wee trip to chat to the ticket office folks and although they can't give share buying advice, i believe they can answer questions relating to future shares transfers 😉

I have checked the FAQ on the HSL site .... but I'm either too thick to understand the answer to this question or it hasn't been answered clearly:

I understand if I pay £250 up front I become a member of HSL. If at the end of a year I cant ( or am unwilling ) to invest any more, do I continue to be a member or not?

Im pretty sure you are i think initially its fir 1 year or untill either the shares are bought or more come up. I believe that because you paid upfront you are a member i could be wrong though

Yes, the HSL scheme is to raise £2.5m only. initially from now to August 2015 - it is not an ongoing commitment to invest each year (unlike FOH).

Stock transfer form along with certificate should be all that's needed to transfer. Normally no charge. If it's a gift then it's exempt from stamp duty as well.

Hi East stand as Andy says as well transfer form would be the correct road to transfer shares in your case that would be once confirmation had been attained that what I would expect my solicitor to do when I pass on

Don't know if it will be the same this time around but when I transferred some of the current shares to a friend the club Secretary did it quickly and free of charge. Petrie even signed the certificates

HSL doesn't have shares. It has a membership, though.

The membership, in itself, doesn't give you the right to go to the AGM.

While that's true I would say that HSL would give you more say in the running of the club through the HSL respresentatives - IMO.

Saying that,however, I'm not exactly clear how HSL representatives guage the fan's opinions.

Sorry if I'm missing something, but didn't I read earlier in this thread/elsewhere that you can infact pay a contribute amount being monthly or at once, with a sum of your choice? As far as I can see from the site the $18.75 is the minimum monthly and $225 the minimum lump sum, is this correct?

I'm sure that you can pay £10 per month and the only thing to watch is that it will take 23 months to become a member.

I E-Mailed them with my details (Name, address, Client reference) on 25th January, received a reply last weekend and I now have all the info I need. According to the official site, further letters are being issued this coming week, so hopefully you should get sorted then. The deadline is a long way ahead, so there is no rush, unless the money is burning a hole in your pocket!

[Ringothedog]

£25000 taken in the first 4 days by direct debit. That is a great start. £100000 a month has to be our minimum target.

Im thinking of choosing the 10 pound/month option . Will they automatically stop the credit card monthly payment after I become a full member after 23 months? Or will they continue taking the 10 pound after the 23 months is up until I instruct them not to?

I'm sure I read that they'll keep taking money until either the shares are all bought or you ask them to stop. I'd imagine at the point you get your full membership they'll lgive you an update to remind you either way.

As I hadn't received any info from the club by last Friday I emailed the club on Saturday. Got a reply first thing this morning apologising for the dealay and explaining that they have had a significant number of enquiries and that they are working their way through them.

I received an email from HSL today thanking me for my donation to HSL, and for being part of the evolution. It goes on to say:

"Your donation is most welcome, but can we ask for one further commitment. We are more likely to achieve success if you spread the word and with this in mind could you take on the challenge of encouraging and enlisting one more member from the community of Hibs fans that you know?

I received my letter from the club yesterday - it was posted on 6th February

I have until mid August to send the letter back to advise of my interest in buying shares so that i will receive the necessary paperwork

It says I need an Independent Financial Adviser to sign it - I don't have any IFA friends down here so I imagine that's going to cost

I suppose I'll have to sort it though

I don't see the point of not actually buying shares - I want a share certificate otherwise feels a bit jamboid

HSL was launched one calendar month ago today. I was just wondering if HSL are able to give any indication yet of what the take up has been like so far, i.e. how many people have signed up to HSL to date, and how much has been pledged (not sure if they can divulge that information?).

Secondly, how many individual applications have been received so far to buy shares direct, and how many shares?

I appreciate that it's still early days, and some will not have got round to signing up yet.
