So good to know that I will not have to wait until next May.

Secondly, pje16 has said that he's held the shares since 2019, meaning that he had them in May and so his vouchers have, in effect, been sitting in a cupboard at II since then waiting for him to claim them.
Would that necessarily be the case? If II nominees counts by default as a single shareholder on the register and has hoops to jump through to say otherwise, could those hoops also be a one-fixed-date-per-year thing?
Umm, but that's exactly my point. TRG issues vouchers to shareholders on record in (it sounds like) May. II contacts them on that one-fixed-date-per-year and tells them they have N clients who are qualifying shareholders so TRG sends II N sets of vouchers. II then distributes those to clients who've already registered with them to receive shareholder benefits and sticks the remainder in a cupboard, and if later a client who was a shareholder on that one-fixed-date-per-year contacts them and asks for their vouchers, as pje16 did, II then sends them to them.
Whether that's necessarily the case I don't know, but my point was that as pje16 held the shares in May, him asking for and getting the vouchers now doesn't necessarily mean that anyone buying the shares now will also be able to get them (for this year).
