(i)a security that is admitted to the official list in accordance with Part 6 of the Act,

(ii)a security that is admitted to an official list in the EEA (in accordance with the provisions of Directive 2001/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the admission of securities to official stock exchange listing and on information to be published on those securities) and has been so admitted since before IP completion day,
