paragraph 42 (period within which replacement option must be granted), and

(5)Except where the contrary is indicated—

(b)a replacement option is to be treated for the purposes of the EMI code as if it had been granted on the date on which the old option was granted.
(6)For the purposes of any of paragraphs 5 to 7 or section 536(1)(e), the total value of the shares in the acquiring company that are subject to the replacement option is to be taken to be equal to—

(b)if the replacement option has been partially exercised, the proportion of that total value which corresponds to the proportion which the number of shares that remain subject to the option bears to the number of shares that were subject to it at the time when it was granted as a new option (see sub-paragraph (2) above).
(7)In the EMI code references to “the old option” or “the new option” are to be construed in accordance with this paragraph.
