Paragraph 87
3744.An individual who participates in any of the share schemes etc dealt with in Schedules 2 to 5 to this Act must not have a material interest in the company in question. This paragraph provides that, in calculating whether or not such an individual has such a material interest, the interest of the trustees of any approved profit sharing scheme in any shares in the company which have not been appropriated to an individual are to be disregarded, as are any rights exercisable by the trustees as a result of that interest. The provision made by this paragraph has been placed in this Schedule because approved profit sharing schemes are being phased out (see section 49 of FA 2000 and the notes relating to paragraph 26 of Schedule 6 to this Act).
