145Relief after an exchange of shares for shares in another company

(1)This section and section 146 apply in relation to shares to which EIS relief is not attributable if—

(a)a company (“the new company”) in which the only issued shares are subscriber shares acquires all the shares (“old shares”) in another company (“the old company”),

(b)the consideration for the old shares consists wholly of the issue of shares (“new shares”) in the new company,

(c)the consideration for the new shares of each description consists wholly of old shares of the corresponding description,

(d)new shares of each description are issued to the holders of old shares of the corresponding description in respect of and in proportion to their holdings, and

(e)by virtue of section 127 of TCGA 1992 as applied by section 135(3) of that Act (company reconstructions etc), the exchange of shares is not to be treated as involving a disposal of the old shares or an acquisition of the new shares.

In this subsection references to shares, except in the expressions “shares to which EIS relief is not attributable” and “subscriber shares”, include securities.

(2)For the purposes of this Chapter the exchange of shares is not regarded as involving any disposal of the old shares or any acquisition of the new shares.

(3)Nothing in—

(a)section 136(2) (disposals of new shares), and

(b)section 139 (the control and independence requirement),

applies in relation to such an exchange of shares, or shares and securities, as is mentioned in subsection (1) or, in the case of section 139, arrangements with a view to such an exchange.

(4)For the purposes of this section old shares and new shares are of a corresponding description if, on the assumption that they were shares in the same company, they would be of the same class and carry the same rights.

(5)References in section 146 to “old shares”, “new shares”, “the old company” and “the new company” are to be read in accordance with this section.

146Substitution of new shares for old shares

(1)Subsection (2) applies if, in the case of any new shares held by an individual or by a nominee for an individual, the old shares for which they were exchanged were shares—

(a)to which EIS relief was not attributable, and

(b)which had been subscribed for by the individual.

(2)This Chapter has effect in relation to any subsequent disposal or other event as if—

(a)the new shares had been subscribed for by the individual at the time when, and for the amount for which, the old shares were subscribed for by the individual,

(b)the new shares had been issued by the new company at the time when the old shares were issued to the individual by the old company, and

(c)any requirements of this Chapter which were met at any time before the exchange by the old company had been met at that time by the new company.
