Note the term provision is used to describe a definable element in a piece of legislation that has legislative effect – such as a Part, Chapter or section.
Companies Act 1985, Section 199 is up to date with all changes known to be in force on or before 23 August 2024. There are changes that may be brought into force at a future date. Changes that have been made appear in the content and are referenced with annotations.

(1)For purposes of the obligation of disclosure, the interests to be taken into account are those in relevant share capital of the company concerned.
[F1(2)Where a person is interested in shares comprised in relevant share capital, then—
(a)if in some or all of those shares he has interests which are material interests, he has a notifiable interest at any time when the aggregate nominal value of the shares in which those material interests subsist is equal to or more than 3 per cent. of the nominal value of that share capital; and
(b)he has a notifiable interest at any time when, not having such an interest by virtue of paragraph (a), the aggregate nominal value of the shares in which he has interests (whether or not including material interests) is equal to or more than 10 per cent. of the nominal value of the relevant share capital.
(2A)For the purposes of this Part, a material interest is any interest other than—
(a)an interest which a person authorised to manage investments belonging to another has by virtue of having the management of such investments under an agreement in or evidenced in writing;
(b)an interest which a person has by virtue of being the operator of—
(i)an authorised unit trust scheme;
(ii)a recognised scheme; or
(iii)a UCITS (as defined in subsection (8));
(c)an interest in shares in a listed company which, if that company were not listed, would fall to be disregarded by virtue of section 209(10); or
(d)an interest of another which a person is taken to have by virtue of the application of section 203 or 205, where the interest of that other person falls within paragraph (a), (b) or (c).]
(3)All facts relevant to determining whether a person has a notifiable interest at any time (or the percentage level of his interest) are taken to be what he knows the facts to be at that time.
(4)The obligation of disclosure arises under section 198(1) or (3) where the person has a notifiable interest immediately after the relevant time, but did not have such an interest immediately before that time.
(5)The obligation also arises under section 198(1) [F2or (3)] where—
(a)the person had a notifiable interest immediately before the relevant time, but does not have such an interest immediately after it, or
(b)he had a notifiable interest immediately before that time, and has such an interest immediately after it, but the percentage levels of his interest immediately before and immediately after that time are not the same.
[F3(6)For the purposes of subsection (2A), a person is authorised to manage investments belonging to another if—
(a)he is an authorised person under Chapter III of Part I of the Financial Services Act 1986 M1 and may manage that other’s investments without contravening any prohibition mentioned in subsection (7); or
(b)it is an authorised credit institution which may manage that other’s investments without being in breach of its authorisation.
(7)The prohibitions referred to in subsection (6)(a) are—
(a)any prohibition contained in rules—
(i)which make provision of a description mentioned in section 48(2)(a) and (b) of the Financial Services Act 1986; and
(ii)which are made by the Secretary of State, the Treasury, a designated agency, a recognised professional body or a recognised self-regulating organisation; and
(b)any prohibition imposed under section 65 of that Act.
(8)In this Part “UCITS" means a collective investment scheme which—
(a)is constituted in a member State other than the United Kingdom, and
(b)complies with the conditions necessary for it to enjoy the rights conferred by Council Directive 85/611/EEC M2 co-ordinating the laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities;
and subsection (8) of section 86 of the Financial Services Act 1986 (meaning of “constituted in a member State") applies for the purposes of paragraph (a) of this subsection as it applies for the purposes of that section.]
