The RBoS Shareholders Action Group (“the Company”) is a company limited
by guarantee formed for the purpose of researching and possibly pursuing
legal action on behalf of the shareholders in Royal Bank of Scotland (“RBS”).
Of particular concern to shareholders is the rights issue that was undertaken
in May of 2008. Although it was at a substantial discount to the market price
of the shares at that time, the share price has since fallen very substantially.
The rights issue was at 200p whereas the company has recently traded around
the 40p mark and has been as low as 10p.
Shareholders believe the rights prospectus was misleading and it certainly
gave no hint that within a few months the company would require a massive
bail-out by the Government which has diluted the interests of ordinary
shareholders very substantially (the Government's economic interest in the
company has risen to 85%). Shareholders have as a result lost an enormous
amount of their capital.
The RBoS Shareholders Action Group was formed by a number of shareholders
to pursue this matter and any claims that can be brought. We invite you to
register your interest by becoming “associate members” of the Company.
