Optare plc Share Information
As of 31 December 2017 Capita Asset Services ceased to provide Matched Bargain Services, in response Optare plc have appointed Asset Match to provide a market platform for buying or selling Optare plc shares.
Should you wish to buy or sell Optare plc shares, please register with Asset Match at www.assetmatch.com
Asset Match provides a market platform for existing Optare plc shareholders to partially or fully realise the value of their share capital and also facilitates the purchase of Optare plc shares for new investors.
In order to trade shares, you will need to use a stockbroker. If you already have a stockbroker you can continue to trade shares through them. However, many people who trade shares on Asset Match do so through The Share Centre, one of the UK’s leading retail stockbrokers. They will be able to help you buy, sell and monitor the value of your shares and keep up to date on Company announcements.
The Asset Match website www.assetmatch.com shows bids to buy shares and offers to sell, with the share price set at each monthly auction by calculating the single price at which sell side supply and buy side demand meet.
