In relation to shares issued before 1 April 2010, the definition of “investment company” in section 90(1) is to be read as including (so as to be within the meaning of the definition) a relevant savings bank.

In relation to shares issued before 6 April 2010, the definition of “investment company” in section 151(1) of ITA 2007, as amended by Schedule 1 to this Act, is to be read as including (so as to be within the meaning of the definition) a relevant savings bank.

In this paragraph a “relevant savings bank” means, subject to sub-paragraph (4), a savings bank or other bank for savings (other than any such bank that is a successor or further successor to a trustee savings bank for the purposes of the Trustee Savings Banks Act 1985).

A savings bank or other bank for savings that is the holding company of a trading group is not a “relevant savings bank” for the purposes of this paragraph.
