(b)the shares or securities are, or a right or opportunity in pursuance of which he acquires them is, assigned to him after being acquired by, conferred on or, as the case may be, offered to some other person by reason of the assignee’s office or employment as a director or employee of the company.

(2)Subject to subsection (3) below, the references in subsection (1) above to a right or opportunity conferred or offered by reason of a person’s office or employment shall be taken to include—

(a)a reference to one so conferred or offered after he has ceased to hold it; and

(ii)he or a connected person becomes entitled to any interest in any shares or securities which is only conditional or to any convertible shares,
