This section explains what is meant by “relevant period” and “valuation date” in this Chapter.

The first relevant period in relation to employment-related securities is the period beginning with the date of the acquisition and ending with the following 5th April.

After the first relevant period, each period beginning with 6th April and ending with the following 5th April is a relevant period in relation to the employment-related securities.

But if this Chapter ceases to apply to the employment-related securities during a relevant period, the relevant period ends with the date on which this Chapter ceases to apply to them.

And if this Chapter ceases to apply to an interest in the employment-related securities during a relevant period, the relevant period ends in relation to that interest with the date on which this Chapter ceases to apply to that interest.

In a case where subsection (5) applies, this Chapter has effect separately in relation to that interest and the remainder of the employment-related securities.

In this Chapter “valuation date”, in relation to a relevant period, means the date with which the relevant period ends.
