The free shares allocation dates are as follows, along with the number of shares full timers received:

15th October 2013 - 613
9th April 2014 - 116
5th October 2015 - 103
6th October 2016 - 81

You have to wait 3 years from each date to sell with tax & NI payable, or 5 years tax-free.

To be fair this is a perennial thread that keeps popping up so much I now cut and paste the answer. :chuckle :chuckle

By the way we don't charge for using the search facility, its free :Very Happy https://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/community/search.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ↗↗↗↗↗↗↗↗

Everyone who still has any free shares receives a statement four times a year stating when or if you can sell your shares and what will happen if you do. Best to keep all paperwork in a safe place for your shares.
