SURFSTITCH GROUP LIMITED(SRF)

company is deregistered today

Surfstitch shareholders may have received a letter from FTI Consulting dated 27 July 2021. You should respond to the letter by entering your bank account details to the secure online portal as suggested in the letter. In due course you will receive the proceeds and you are welcome to retain those proceeds - or if you wish you may EFT them to our account as below: Account Name: Investogain Pty Limited Bank: Westpac, Martin Place, Sydney BSB: 032-024 Account No: 676351 (In that event, please use SRF followed by your surname as the reference.) If you retain the proceeds, it is our opinion that if you have claimed your capital loss upon the sale of your shares to us, those proceeds should be declared as an income recovery for tax purposes. You should seek confirmation of that from your accountant. (Just by way of explanation, your sale to us involved a transfer of beneficial ownership, thus creating a capital gains tax event enabling you to crystallise the capital loss for CGT purposes. We have not been able to register that transfer because the company has been in administration, but that does not invalidate the CGT event. We acquired SRF shares on the basis they were of little, if any, value and make no claim to any windfall, such as has arisen in this case.)

Surfstitch shareholders may have received a letter from FTI Consulting dated 12 May 2021. Apparently a further letter will be sent in coming weeks and you should, notwithstanding that you may have previously sold shares to deListed, wait and respond to that letter. There will eventually be a small distribution which you may retain but may have to declare for tax purposes if your CGT loss has previously been claimed.
