(2) Where—

(a) by virtue of any provision of this Order, the consideration for a disposal is deemed to be increased by reason of a subsequent event, or by reason of a subsequent event a disposal ceases by virtue of paragraph (2) of article 25 to be disregarded; and

(b) the minimum limit or the materiality threshold is in consequence exceeded;

sub-paragraph (a) or (b) of paragraph (1) above shall apply as if the reference to the disposal date relating to the disposal which causes the minimum limit or, as the case may be, the materiality threshold, to be exceeded were a reference to the date on which the subsequent event occurs.
