(b)where two or more persons are the Licensee, any of those persons is a company,
and references in this clause to a company are to such a company.
(2)A change in control of a company is not permitted without the consent of the Oil and Gas Authority (“the OGA”).
(3)There is a “change in control” of a company if a person takes control of the company, not having previously been a person who controlled the company.

(5)The OGA may—
(a)consent to the change in control unconditionally,
(b)consent to the change in control subject to conditions, or
(c)refuse consent to the change in control.
(6)If the OGA proposes to grant consent subject to any condition or to refuse consent, the OGA must, before making a final decision—
(a)give the company an opportunity to make representations, and
(b)consider any representations that are made.
(7)The general rule is that the OGA must decide an application within three months of receiving it, but the OGA may delay its decision by notifying the interested parties in writing.
(8)Conditions as mentioned in paragraph (5)(b) may be imposed on the person taking control of the company (as well as on the company), and may include—
(a)conditions relating to the arrangements for the change in control, including the date by which it must occur,
(b)conditions relating to the performance of activities permitted by this licence, and
(c)financial conditions.
(9)The OGA’s decision on the application, and any conditions as mentioned in paragraph (5)(b), must be notified in writing to the interested parties.
(10)In this clause “the interested parties” means—
(a)the company,
(b)the person who (if consent were granted) would take control of the company, and
(c)if the company and another person or persons are the Licensee, that other person or those other persons.
(11)For the purposes of this clause, the question of whether a person has control of a company is to be determined in accordance with the test set out in clause 41(4).”

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.
