Schedule 2: Approved Share Incentive Plans

Overview

Part 6: Partnership shares
Paragraph 50: Application of money deducted where no accumulation periods

3104.This paragraph specifies how partnership share money must be applied if the SIP does not provide for an accumulation period. The paragraph derives from paragraph 40 of Schedule 8.

3105.The five sub-paragraphs have, however, been placed in a different order. The major proposition has been placed first (sub-paragraph (1)); and this is followed by the proposition relating to the market value of the shares (sub-paragraph (2)). It is only these two sub-paragraphs that are affected by the operation of paragraph 53 (restrictions on number of shares awarded), so this limitation is dealt with next (sub-paragraph (3)). The definition of the expression “the acquisition date” is dealt with next (sub-paragraph (4)) in a location that follows the two sub-paragraphs in which the expression is used (as opposed to being placed between those two sub-paragraphs). The provision dealing with surplus partnership money is now placed at the end (sub-paragraph (5)).
