Paragraph 3
Taking the additional prices for the winning assignment stage bids for paired frequency ranges in the same band together, the additional prices for winning assignment stage bids for paired frequency ranges in a band shall be such that if—
the amount bid by each winning bidder for the paired frequency range selected in its winning assignment stage bid for a paired frequency range in that band had been the additional price rather than the amount of its winning assignment stage bid (“reduced winning assignment stage bid”), and
subject to sub-paragraph (2), the amount bid by each winning bidder in respect of each other valid assignment stage bid made by that bidder for a paired frequency range in that band had been reduced by an amount equal to the difference between the amount of its winning assignment stage bid for a paired frequency range in that band and the additional price for that relevant winning assignment stage bid,
the combination of the reduced winning assignment stage bids submitted by the winning bidders would have been the valid combination of assignment stage bids or one of the valid combinations of assignment stage bids (as the case may be) for paired frequency ranges in that band having the highest total value of amounts bid.
Where the amount of a bid has been reduced in accordance with sub-paragraph (1)(b) and is less than zero, the amount of that bid shall be treated as if it were zero for the purposes of this paragraph.
