(a)shares of that class carry the right to receive bonus share capital in the company of the same or a different class; and
(b)that right is conferred by the terms on which shares of that class were originally issued or by those terms as subsequently extended or otherwise varied.
(3)Where a company issues any share capital in a case in which two or more persons are entitled thereto, the following provisions of this sectionand paragraph 12(1)to (3)of Schedule 19 F2 shall have effect as if the company had issued to each of those persons separately a part of that share capital proportionate to his interest therein on the due date of issue.

(9)Where any bonus share capital falling within subsection (1)(b) above is after 5th April 1975 converted into or exchanged for shares in the company in question of a different class, then—
