When reporting the sale of the asset you will be asked if you want to download it or enter it manually. The purchase of the other asset doesn’t have to be reported.

The transaction was caused by Shire plc being acquired by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited effective 01/08/2019.

I did not "sell" it. I would think I would be taxed on the sale if I enter it as you suggest. Is there some other way of entering the transaction. I am not an accountant but am only 86 years old, so any other suggestions would be appreciated!

It is complicated so you would be well advised to seek professional help. This site describes the process for reporting the sale and purchase.
