Rights Issue BPR Assets No Grant

Hi Richard,

I have a related question regarding rights issues. Rolls-Royce Holdings plc has a rights issue that has a deadline of 11.00am on 11 November 2020.

The deceased held shares in RRH plc and the beneficiaries of the estate wish the rights to be taken up so in the absence of the grant of probate (and unlikely to be received before 11th November) what are my options? If there are no other options I will just have to let the rights be sold on the open market and the proceeds be added to the total estate.

Thank you.
John Horner
