Status

The term provision is used to describe a definable element in a piece of legislation that has legislative effect – such as a Part, Chapter or section.

Sometimes the text of a provision is changed, but the change(s) only apply to a particular geographical area. In some limited cases where this happens, the editorial team create a version for each different geographical area. Multiple versions are only created in this way where the change in question is a substitution so that there are different versions of the text for the different extents. Insertions and repeals of text do not give rise to such multiple versions.

without becoming a 51% subsidiary of that other company;

(c)when the relevant company ceases to meet the trading activities requirement (see paragraphs 13 to 23 of Schedule 5).

(2)But where a replacement option has been granted, an event within subsection (1)(a) or (b) is not a disqualifying event in relation to the old option (see paragraph 41(2) of Schedule 5) if the event occurs at any time during the period—

(a)beginning at the same time as the period within which the replacement option had to be granted (see paragraph 42 of Schedule 5), and

(b)ending with the release of the rights under the old option.

(3)A disqualifying event is to be treated as occurring in relation to a qualifying option if the circumstances mentioned in subsection (4) arise.

(b)either—

(i)the preparations cease to be carried on, or

(ii)the initial period comes to an end,

without the relevant company (or, if it is a parent company, any member of the group) beginning to carry on that qualifying trade.

(5)The initial period” means the period of two years after the date when the option was granted.

(6)Paragraph 41(5)(b) of Schedule 5 has the effect that a replacement option is to be treated as granted on the date when the original option was granted.

[F1(7)Subsection (1)(a) and (b) do not apply where the relevant company is subject to an employee-ownership trust (within the meaning of paragraph 27(4) to (6) of Schedule 2).]
