the 1982 holding and the new holding of the description mentioned in any such paragraph shall at that time bear to one another the same proportions as the single 1982 holding and the single new holding at the end of 1989.

Introduction
Qualifying provision for redemption
For the purposes of this Schedule a qualifying provision for redemption, in relation to a security, is a provision which—
provides for redemption before maturity only at the option of the person holding the security for the time being,
provides for such redemption on one occasion only,
provides for such redemption to occur on the last day of an income period, and
is such that the amount payable on redemption on exercise of the option is fixed (as opposed to variable), is determined at the time the security becomes subject to the provision, and constitutes a deep gain.
Qualifying convertible securities
For the purposes of this Schedule a security is a qualifying convertible security at the time of its issue if—
it fulfils each of the first eight conditions mentioned below, and
it fulfils the ninth condition mentioned below (where it applies) or it fulfils the ninth and tenth conditions mentioned below (where they apply).
The first condition is that the security was issued by a company on or after 9th June 1989.
The second condition is that the security—
is not a share in a company,
is redeemable, and
was not issued in circumstances such that, by virtue of section 209(2)(c) of the Taxes Act 1988, it (or part of it) constituted or fell within a distribution of a company.
The third condition is that at the time the security was issued it was quoted in the official list of a recognised stock exchange.
The fourth condition is that under the terms of issue—
the security can be converted into ordinary share capital in the company which issued it,
the security either carries no right to interest, or carries a right to interest at a rate which is fixed (as opposed to variable) and determined at the time of issue, and
any amount payable on redemption (at any time), and any amount payable by way of interest, is payable in the currency in which the issue price is denominated.
The fifth condition is that at the time of issue of the security it is subject to one (and one only) qualifying provision for redemption.
The sixth condition is that the yield to redemption for the relevant redemption period represents no more than a reasonable commercial return; and the relevant redemption period is the redemption period which ends with the day on which the occasion for redemption under the qualifying provision for redemption falls.
is a deep discount security but would not be one if it were not for the qualifying provision for redemption, or
is a deep gain security but would not be one if it were not for the qualifying provision for redemption;
The eighth condition is that the obtaining of a tax advantage by any person was not the main benefit, or one of the main benefits, that might be expected to accrue from issuing the security.
The ninth condition applies where the security carries a right to interest, and is that—
the first (or only) interest payment day falls on a day which bears the same date in the month as the day of issue bears, but which occurs in the sixth month after the month in which that day falls, or
the first (or only) interest payment day falls on the first anniversary of the day of issue.
The tenth condition applies where there is more than one interest payment day, and is that—
if sub-paragraph (10)(a) above applies, each interest payment day (other than the first) falls on a day which bears the same date in the month as the interest payment day immediately preceding it bears, but which occurs in the sixth month after the month in which that day falls;
if sub-paragraph (10)(b) above applies, each interest payment day (other than the first) falls on the first anniversary of the interest payment day immediately preceding it.
If a security is quoted in the official list of a recognised stock exchange at a time after it was issued but before the end of the qualifying period, for the purposes of sub-paragraph (4) above it shall be deemed to have been quoted in that list at the time it was issued; and the qualifying period is the period of one month beginning with the day on which the security was issued.
Events after issue
A security which was a qualifying convertible security at the time of its issue shall continue to be a qualifying convertible security for the purposes of this Schedule.
But sub-paragraph (1) above shall have effect subject to paragraphs 4(2) and 5(2) below.
Securities becoming subject to later options
This paragraph applies where—
a security becomes at any time (the time in question) subject to a qualifying provision for redemption (the new provision), and
immediately before that time it was a qualifying convertible security.
If the relevant requirement is not satisfied, the security shall cease to be a qualifying convertible security for the purposes of this Schedule at the time in question.
For the purposes of this paragraph the relevant requirement is satisfied if—
the security becomes subject to the new provision on or after the relevant day but not after the day on which the occasion for redemption under the old provision falls,
the person who issued the security did not indicate, at any time falling before the relevant day, that the security might become subject to a qualifying provision for redemption (in addition to any other such provision or provisions),
the day on which the occasion for redemption under the new provision falls is not less than one year after the day on which the occasion for redemption under the old provision falls,
the amount payable on redemption on exercise of the option for which the new provision provides is not less than the amount payable on redemption on exercise of the option for which the old provision provides,
the yield to redemption for the relevant redemption period represents no more than a reasonable commercial return, and
the obtaining of a tax advantage by any person is not the main benefit, or one of the main benefits, that might be expected to accrue from the new provision.
For the purposes of this paragraph the relevant day is the day falling 30 days before the day on which the occasion for redemption under the old provision falls.
For the purposes of this paragraph the old provision is—
if the security became subject to one other qualifying provision for redemption before the time in question, that provision, or
if the security became subject to more than one qualifying provision for redemption before the time in question, the one to which it last became subject.
For the purposes of this paragraph the relevant redemption period is the redemption period which ends with the day on which the occasion for redemption under the new provision falls.
Other later events in relation to securities
This paragraph applies where—
a prohibited event occurs in relation to a security at any time (the time in question), and
immediately before that time it was a qualifying convertible security.
The security shall cease to be a qualifying convertible security for the purposes of this Schedule at the time in question.
For the purposes of this paragraph, a prohibited event occurs in relation to a security if—
it ceases to be quoted in the official list of a recognised stock exchange,
it becomes subject to a provision under which it carries a right to interest at a rate which is variable or falls to be determined at a time other than issue (or both),
it becomes subject to a provision under which any amount payable on redemption (at any time) is payable in a currency different from that in which the issue price is denominated,
it becomes subject to a provision under which any amount payable by way of interest is payable in a currency different from that in which the issue price is denominated,
it becomes subject to a provision which would be a qualifying provision for redemption but for the fact that one or more of sub-paragraphs (b) to (d) of paragraph 1 above is (or are) not fulfilled as regards the provision, or
there is a time when more than 10 per cent. of the securities issued under the relevant prospectus are held by companies which are linked companies at that time.
For the purposes of sub-paragraph (3)(f) above the relevant prospectus is the prospectus under which the security concerned was issued.

Yield to redemption
For the purposes of this Schedule the yield to redemption for a redemption period is a rate (expressed as a percentage) such that if a sum equal to the relevant amount were to be invested at that rate on the assumption that—the value of that sum on the relevant redemption day would be equal to the amount payable on redemption of the security on that day under the relevant redemption provision.
the rate would be applied on a compounding basis at the end of each relevant income period, and
