Company’s power to withdraw restrictions notice

550.A company must itself withdraw the restrictions imposed if it is satisfied that there is a valid reason to justify the person’s failure to comply with the notice; or if the relevant information in respect of the notice is provided; or if it discovers that there is an unfair impact on third parties in respect of the interest subject to restrictions (paragraph 11). This provision does not prevent the company from withdrawing the restrictions notice in other circumstances.
