(a)the price payable by the director or employee for the shares of a company allocated to the director or employee under the employee offer, and
(b)the amount or value of any registrant discount made to the director or employee in respect of the shares,
is not the same as, or as near as reasonably practicable to, the appropriate notional price for the shares of the company.
(2)Section 544(2) (exemption: different offers made to public and employees) does not apply to the benefit (if any) represented by the amount by which the appropriate notional price exceeds the total referred to in subsection (1).

(a)if subsection (4) applies, the amount given by the formula in subsection (6), and
(b)in any other case, the notional price.
(4)This subsection applies if shares of the company are subject to the public offer and there is a difference between CP and AFP—
(a)CP being the price for the combination of shares subject to the public offer determined by aggregating the notional prices for each one of the shares comprised in the combination, and
(b)AFP being the actual fixed price or (as the case may be) the lowest successfully tendered price for that combination of shares.
(5)The “notional price” for the shares of a company is the price that might reasonably have been expected to be the fixed price for the shares of the company under a separate offer of those shares if—
(a)the shares of the company, and of each of the other companies had, instead of being subject to the public offer and the employee offer, been subject to separate offers to the public in respect of each company at fixed prices, and

(a)the levels of their remuneration,
(b)the length of their service, or
(c)similar factors,
does not mean that they are not entitled to an allocation on similar terms.
(3)The fact that the allocations of shares in a company to which non-company employees are entitled are smaller than those to which company employees are entitled does not mean that they are not entitled on similar terms, if conditions A and B are met.
(4)Condition A is that each non-company employee is also entitled by reason of the office or employment and in priority to members of the public, to an allocation of shares in another company or companies which are offered to the public at a fixed price or by tender at the same time as the shares in the company.
(5)Condition B is that in the case of each non-company employee the aggregate value of all the shares included in the allocations to which the non-company employee is entitled is the same, or as nearly the same as is reasonably practicable, as that of the shares in the company included in the entitlement of a comparable company employee.
(6)For the purposes of subsection (5), the value of shares is to be measured by reference to the fixed price or the lowest price successfully tendered.

“company employee”, in relation to a company, means a director or employee of the company, and

(3)Condition B is that at least 40% of the shares of the company allocated to members of the public are allocated to individuals who are or become entitled to—
(a)the discount, or
(b)some other benefit of similar value for which they may elect as an alternative to the discount.
(4)Directors and employees who are entitled by reason of their office or employment to an allocation of the shares in priority to members of the public are not to be treated as members of the public for the purposes of subsection (3).
(5)Condition C is that subscribing employees are, or may become, entitled to the same discount in respect of the shares of the company as any other members of the public to whom shares of the company are allocated under the offer.
(6)In subsection (5) a “subscribing employee” means a director or employee who—
(a)subscribes for shares—
(i)if section 542 (offer made to public and employees) applies, under the offer as a member of the public, or
(ii)if section 544 (different offers made to public and employees) applies, under the public offer as a member of the public or under the employee offer as a director or employee, and
(b)complies (or, in the case of a requirement to register, is taken under the terms of the offer to comply) with the requirements mentioned in subsection (2).
(7)For the purposes of this Chapter, the “amount or value” of any registrant discount made to a director or employee means—
