Paragraph 1 Transfers of entitlements held by a primary company controller effected by the company

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

(1)

A company may at any time effect a transfer of any entitlements to units of an uncertificated security of the company held by a primary company controller (in his or its capacity as such controller) to another primary company controller appointed by the company, to hold those entitlements for those persons for whom they were held by the first mentioned controller. The transfer may be effected by the company amending its record of entitlements so as to debit the first mentioned controller and credit the second mentioned, without the necessity of the company obtaining any notification of a transaction or consent from the first mentioned controller.

(2)

It shall be the duty of the first mentioned controller, and (where a body corporate) of any officer of it (and of any insolvency practitioner appointed in relation to that controller), to preserve and deliver up to the company as soon as practicable a copy of the record of account holders relating to the entitlements transferred together with all other records and documents held by the controller which relate to those entitlements (in particular copies of any instructions received by the controller under regulation 34).

It is also the duty of such a person to notify the company of any entitlements to which regulations 34, 51, 52 or 53 apply.

(3)

Any transfer under this paragraph shall be without prejudice to any claim the first mentioned controller may have for breach of contract or to any claim that may exist against that controller.
