Demutualisation method 4

  (1)   Under demutualisation method 4 , in connection with the implementation of the demutualisation:

  (a)   all membership rights in the mutual insurance company are extinguished; and

  (b)   shares in the mutual insurance company are issued to another company (the holding company ); and

  (c)   not more than 10 shares (the special shares ) in:

  (i)   the holding company; or

  (ii)   another company (the ultimate holding company ) of which the holding company is a wholly - owned subsidiary, either directly or through one or more other wholly - owned subsidiaries (each of which is an interposed holding company );

    are issued to a trustee to hold for the benefit of the policyholder/member group; and

  (d)   the issue of the special shares takes place before the issue of the ordinary shares mentioned in paragraph   (e), and on the issue of all the ordinary shares, the rights attaching to the special shares become the same as those attaching to the ordinary shares; and

  (i)   issued, at the election of each person in the policyholder/member group, to the person or to a trustee to sell on behalf of the person; or

  (ii)   issued to a trustee, at the election of each person in the policyholder/member group, to distribute to the person or to sell on behalf of the person; and
