The closing date shall be set at the discretion of the administrator, but shall not be less than 14 business days from the date of issue of the notice under paragraph (2) of this rule.\n(6) In order to be considered, votes and comments must be received by the administrator by the closing date and must be accompanied by the creditor’s submission of claim or the client’s details of their claim (referred to in rules 64 and 68) except where these have already been provided to the administrator.\n(7) Rule 71 applies where both creditors and clients are voting on a proposed resolution as it applies to meetings of creditors and clients.\n(8) For the conduct of business to proceed, the administrator must receive at least one response which satisfies the requirements of paragraph (6) of this rule.\n(9) If no responses are received by the closing date then the administrator shall summon a meeting of creditors, of clients or of creditors and clients, or a meeting of contributories, as the case may be.\n(10) Any single creditor, or a group of creditors, of the company whose debt amounts to at least 10% of the total debts of the investment bank may, within 5 business days from the date of the administrator sending out the proposed resolution, require the administrator to summon a creditors’ meeting to consider the proposed resolution.\n(11) Clients asserting claims over at least 10% of the total value of client assets held by the investment bank may, within 5 business days from the date of issue of the notice, require the administrator to call a meeting of clients to consider the proposed resolution.\n(12) Contributories representing claims over at least 10% of the total voting rights of all contributories having the right to vote at a meeting of contributories may, within 5 business days from the date of issue of the notice, require the administrator to call a meeting of contributories to consider the proposed resolution.\n(13) If the administrator’s proposed resolution is rejected by the creditors or by the clients pursuant to this rule, the administrator may summon a meeting of creditors, clients or creditors and clients, as the case may be.\n(14) A reference in this Part to anything done at a meeting of creditors, clients, creditors and clients or contributories includes a reference to anything done in the course of correspondence in accordance with this rule.",
