(1)The case referred to in section 335(1)(c) is where each of conditions A to D is met.
(2)Condition A is that sections 127 to 130 of TCGA 1992 (reorganisations: equation of original shares and new holding)—
(a)apply in relation to an exchange as a result of section 135(3) of that Act (which provides for sections 127 to 130 to apply to an exchange of securities for those in another company as if it were a reorganisation), or
(b)would so apply but for section 116(5) of that Act (which disapplies sections 127 to 130 where the original shares or the new holding consist of or include a qualifying corporate bond).
(3)Condition B is that the original shares consist of or include an asset representing a loan relationship.
(4)Condition C is that company A is resident in one member State and company B is resident in another member State.
(5)For the purposes of this section a company is resident in a member State if—
(a)it is within a charge to tax under the law of the State as being resident for that purpose, and
(b)it is not regarded, for the purpose of any double taxation relief arrangements to which the State is a party, as resident in a territory not within a member State.
(6)Condition D is that neither Chapter 13 (European cross-border transfers of business) nor Chapter 14 (European cross-border mergers) applies in relation to the exchange.
(7)In this section—
(a)“company A” and “company B” have the same meaning as in section 135 of TCGA 1992,
(b)“original shares” has the same meaning as it has for the purposes of sections 126 to 131 of that Act, as applied by section 135 of that Act, and
(c)“receiving company” means the company to which the issue of shares in or debentures of company B mentioned in section 135(1) of that Act is made.
(8)If company B is a company to which section 135(5) of TCGA 1992 applies (companies with no share capital), the reference in subsection (7)(c) to the shares in or debentures of company B includes a reference to any interests in the company possessed by its members.
