Section 435: Securities issued in separate tranches: basic rule
1760.This section sets out the first rule, known as the basic rule. It is based on paragraph 3 of Schedule 13 to FA 1996.
1761.Subsection (1) provides that if any of the securities issued under a prospectus at any time are not deeply discounted securities under section 430, then any securities issued subsequently will not be deeply discounted securities, even if they would be deeply discounted securities under that section. But this will not be the case if a security is a deeply discounted security because it is issued to a person connected with the issuer or acquired by a person who becomes so connected (see subsection (2)).
1762.The words “(disregarding that paragraph)” from paragraph 3(2)(f) of Schedule 13 to FA 1996 are not rewritten. They may be read in such a way as to conflict with the words “subject to paragraph 10” at the beginning of paragraph 3(2)(f) of that Schedule, which are clearly intended to prevail.
