(5)Subsection (4) does not apply in a case where the company is required under subsection (3) to make an allotment (because in such a case section 555 will apply).

(a)the total number of shares of the company,
(b)the aggregate nominal value of those shares,

(b)where an election is in force under section 128B of the Companies Act 2006 (option to keep membership information on central register) in respect of the company, deliver that information to the registrar as if it were information required to be delivered under section 128E of that Act.
(8)Subsection (9) applies where—
(a)any property or right previously vested in or held on trust for the company in respect of any share specified in a share warrant has vested as bona vacantia (see section 1012), and
(b)the warrant and the share are cancelled on the restoration of the company in accordance with this section.
(9)On restoration of the company, that property or right—
(a)may not be returned to the company, and
(b)accordingly, remains vested as bona vacantia.
(10)If default is made in complying with subsection (3) or (4), an offence is committed by—
(a)the company, and
