(1)This section has effect where gilt-edged securities are exchanged for shares in pursuance of any enactment (including an enactment passed after this Act) which provides for the compulsory acquisition of any shares and the issue of gilt-edged securities instead.
(2)The exchange shall not constitute a conversion of securities within section 82 above and accordingly the gilt-edged securities shall not be treated as having been acquired on any date earlier than that on which they were issued or for any consideration other than the value of the shares as determined for the purposes of the exchange.
(3)The exchange shall be treated as not involving any disposal of the shares by the person from whom they were compulsorily acquired but—
(a)there shall be calculated the gain or loss that would have accurued to him if he had then disposed of the shares for a consideration equal to the value mentioned in subsection (2) above, and
(b)on a subsequent disposal of the whole or part of the gilt-edged securities by the person to whom they were issued—
(i)there shall be deemed to accrue to him (in addition to any gain or loss that actually accrues) the whole or a corresponding part of the gain or loss mentioned in paragraph (a) above, and
(ii)[F1if the disposal is within] section 67(1) above (exemption for gilt-edged securities) [F1that section] shall have effect only in relation to any gain or loss that actually accrues and not in relation to any gain or loss that is deemed to accrue as aforesaid.
(4)Where a person to whom gilt-edged securities of any kind were issued as mentioned in subsection (1) above disposes of securities of that kind, the securities of which he disposes—
[F2(a)shall, so far as possible, be identified with securities which were issued to him as mentioned in subsection (1) above rather than with other securities of that kind, and

(c)section 273(1) of [F3the Taxes Act 1970] (disposals within a group of companies);

(6)Where the gilt-edged securities to be exchanged for any shares are not issued until after the date on which the shares are compulsorily acquired but on that date a right to the securities is granted, this section shall have effect as if the exchange had taken place on that date, as if references to the issue of the securities and the person to whom they were issued were references to the grant of the right and the person to whom it was granted and references to the disposal of the securities included references to disposals of the rights.
