Relief not available where bond-holder acquires control of underlying asset

20
  • (1) The reliefs provided by paragraphs 6 to 12 (and paragraph 18 so far as it relates to those paragraphs) are not available if control of the underlying asset is acquired by—
  • (a) a bond-holder, or
  • (b) a group of connected bond-holders.
  • (2) A bond-holder (“BH”), or a group of connected bond-holders, acquires control of the underlying asset if—
  • (a) the rights of bond-holders under an alternative finance investment bond include the right of management and control of the bond assets, and
  • (b) BH, or the group, acquires sufficient rights to enable BH, or the members of the group acting jointly, to exercise the right of management and control of the bond assets to the exclusion of any other bond-holders.
  • (3) In accordance with sub-paragraph (1), in the case of the reliefs provided by paragraphs 6 and 10—
  • (a) if BH, or the group, acquires control of the underlying asset before the end of the period of 14 days beginning with the effective date of the first transaction, paragraphs 6 and 10 do not apply, and

  • (2) The first case is where—
  • (a) at the time that the rights were acquired BH (or all of the connected bond-holders) did not know and had no reason to suspect that the acquisition enabled the exercise of the right of management and control of the bond assets to the exclusion of other bond-holders, and
  • (b) as soon as reasonably practicable after BH (or any of the bond-holders) becomes aware that the acquisition enables that exercise, BH transfers (or some or all of the bond-holders transfer) sufficient rights for that no longer to be possible.
  • (3) The second case is where BH—
  • (a) underwrites a public offer of rights under the bond, and
  • (b) does not exercise the right of management and control of the bond assets.
  • (4) In this paragraph—
  • “connected” is to be read in accordance with section 1122 of CTA 2010, and
  • “underwrite”, in relation to an offer of rights under a bond, means to agree to make payments of capital under the bond in the event that other persons do not make those payments.

Relief not available if purpose of arrangements is improper

22
  • (1) The reliefs provided by paragraphs 6 to 12 (and paragraph 18 so far as it relates to those paragraphs) are not available if the arrangements mentioned in paragraph 5(2)—
