Value received where there is more than one issue of shares

(a) two or more issues of shares in the issuing company have been made to the investing company (being issues in relation to which the investing company is eligible for and claims investment relief), and

(b) the value received falls within the periods of restriction relating to two or more of those issues.

(2) Where this paragraph applies paragraph 47 has effect in relation to the shares comprised in each of the issues referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(b) as if the amount of the value received were reduced by multiplying it by the fraction—

Where—

• A is the amount subscribed by the investing company for the shares comprised in the issue in question to which investment relief is (or, but for paragraph 47 would be) attributable; and

• B is the aggregate of that amount and the corresponding amount or amounts for the other issue or issues.
