c

the proportion of any assets of the surrendering company available for distribution to such equity holders on a winding up to which the claimant company would be beneficially entitled (see Chapter 6) F2, and

d

the proportion of the voting power in the surrendering company that is directly possessed by the claimant company.

4

For the purposes of subsection (3)—

a

the proportions mentioned in F3paragraphs (a) to (d) of that subsection are those prevailing during the overlapping period, and

b

if any of those proportions changes during that period, use the average of that proportion during that period.
