a

the company's name;

c

if the company is not being so wound up, as a result of what action the winding up has commenced;

d

whether the winding up has been instigated by—

i

the company's members,

ii

the company's creditors, or

iii

some other person (stating the person's identity); and

e

the date on which the winding up became or will become effective.

if the winding up began before the company had a UK establishment, one month after the company first opens a UK establishment;

b

if the winding up begins when the company has a UK establishment, 14 days after the date on which the winding up begins.
