Are they actually worth anything on the open market, given it's a family company? Likely as not you'd be able to specifically exclude them, assuming they're not worth much to a 3rd party.
Are you a director of the company as well? If so check the articles of the company don't require you to be removed on approval of the IVA. Easy to fix by special resolution.

Hi
You will have to declare any assets in an IVA,so this would include shares.Your IP will decide if these are of any value and if they are to be sold.
Pension contributions vary from IVA to IVA.Some allow for continued contributions and some want you to stop paying in for the duration of your IVA.
If you are drawing a pension then this would form part of your income in an IVA.
