(1)For the purposes of this Part of this Act the persons responsible for listing particulars or supplementary listing particulars are—
(a)the issuer of the securities to which the particulars relate;
(b)where the issuer is a body corporate, each person who is a director of that body at the time when the particulars are submitted to the competent authority;
(c)where the issuer is a body corporate, each person who has authorised himself to be named, and is named, in the particulars as a director or as having agreed to become a director of that body either immediately or at a future time;
(d)each person who accepts, and is stated in the particulars as accepting, responsibility for, or for any part of, the particulars;
(e)each person not falling within any of the foregoing paragraphs who has authorised the contents of, or any part of, the particulars.
(2)A person is not responsible for any particulars by virtue of subsection (1)(b) above if they are published without his knowledge or consent and on becoming aware of their publication he forthwith gives reasonable public notice that they were published without his knowledge or consent.
(3)Where a person has accepted responsibility for, or authorised, only part of the contents of any particulars, he is responsible under subsection (1)(d) or (e) above for only that part and only if it is included in (or subsequently in) the form and context to which he has agreed.
(4)Where the particulars relate to securities which are to be issued in connection with an offer by (or by a wholly-owned subsidiary of), the issuer for, or an agreement for the acquisition by (or by a wholly-owned subsidiary of) the issuer of, securities issued by another person or in connection with any arrangement whereby the whole of the undertaking of another person is to become the undertaking of the issuer (of a wholly-owned subsidiary of the issuer or of a body corporate which will become such a subsidiary by virtue of the arrangement) then if—
(a)that other person; and
(b) where that other person is a body corporate, each person who is a director of that body at the time when the particulars are submitted to the competent authority and each other person who has authorised himself to be named, and is named, in the particulars as a director of that body,
is responsible by virtue of paragraph (d) of subsection (1) above for any part of the particulars relating to that other person or to the securities or undertaking to which the offer, agreement or arrangement relates, no person shall be responsible for that part under paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of that subsection but without prejudice to his being responsible under paragraph (d).
[F1(4A)Where—
(a)the same document contains particulars relating to the securities of two or more successor companies within the meaning of Part III of the Electricity (Northern Ireland) Order 1992; and
(b)any person’s responsibility for any information included in the document is stated in the document to be confined to its inclusion as part of the particulars relating to the securities of any one of those companies,
that person shall not be treated as responsible for that information in so far as it is stated in the document to form part of the particulars relating to the securities of any other of those companies.]
(5)Neither paragraph (b) nor paragraph (c) of subsection (1) above applies in the case of an issuer of international securities of a class specified by listing rules for the purposes of section 148(1)(c) above; and neither of those paragraphs nor paragraph (b) of subsection (4) above applies in the case of any director certified by the competent authority as a person to whom that paragraph should not apply by reason of his having an interest, or of any other circumstances, making it inappropriate for him to be responsible by virtue of that paragraph.
(6)In subsection (5) above “international securities” means any investment falling within paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 to this Act as modified by section 142(3)(b) above which is of a kind likely to be dealt in by bodies incorporated in or persons resident in a country or territory outside the United Kingdom, is denominated in a currency other than sterling or is otherwise connected with such a country or territory.
(7)In this section “wholly-owned subsidiary”, in relation to a person other than a body corporate, means any body corporate that would be his wholly-owned subsidiary if he were a body corporate.
(8)Nothing in this section shall be construed as making a person responsible for any particulars by reason of giving advice as to their contents in a professional capacity.
(9)Where by virtue of this section the issuer of any shares pays or is liable to pay compensation under section 150 above for loss suffered in respect of shares for which a person has subscribed no account shall be taken of that liability or payment in determining any question as to the amount paid on subscription for those shares or as to the amount paid up or deemed to be paid up on them.
