As a condition of participating in the Plan, each Participant agrees to comply with all such Law and agrees to furnish to the Company all information and undertakings as may be required to permit compliance with such Law. 3.8 The Company, a Subsidiary or a Designated Affiliated Entity may withhold from any amount payable to a Participant, either under this Plan, or otherwise, such amount as may be necessary so as to ensure that the Company, the Subsidiary or Designated Affiliated Entity will be able to comply with the applicable provisions of any federal, provincial, state or local law relating to the withholding of tax or other required deductions, including on the amount, if any, includable in the income of a Participant. The Company shall also have the right in its discretion to satisfy any such withholding tax liability by retaining or acquiring any Shares which would otherwise be issued or provided to a Participant hereunder. 3.9 A Participant shall not have the right or be entitled to exercise any voting rights, receive dividends or have or be entitled to any other rights as a shareholder in respect of (i)
- 7 - Shares subject to an Option unless and until such Shares have been paid for in full and issued, (ii) any Rights, or (iii) any Performance Units unless and until issued or provided in the form of Performance Shares. 3.10 Neither designation of an employee as a Participant nor the grant of any Options, Rights or Performance Units to any Participant entitles any Participant to the grant, or any additional grant, as the case may be, of any Options, Rights or Performance Units under the Plan. Neither the Plan nor any action taken thereunder shall interfere with the right of the employer of a Participant to terminate a Participant's employment at any time. Neither any period of notice, if any, nor any payment in lieu thereof, upon termination of employment shall be considered as extending the period of employment for the purposes of the Plan. 3.11 No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith in connection with the Plan and members of the Board and the Committee shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement from the Company in respect of any claim relating thereto. 3.12 Participation in the Plan shall be entirely voluntary and any decision not to participate shall not affect any employee's employment with, or any Consultant's engagement by, the Company, a Subsidiary or Designated Affiliated Entity. 3.13 If any provision of this Plan is determined to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such provision or part thereof and the remaining part, if any, of such provision and all other provisions hereof shall continue in full force and effect. 3.14 Neither the establishment of the Plan nor the grant of any Rights or Performance Units or the setting aside of any funds by the Company (if, in its sole discretion, it chooses to do so) shall be deemed to create a trust. Legal and equitable title to any funds set aside for the purposes of the Plan shall remain in the Company and no Participant shall have any security or other interest in such funds. Any funds so set aside shall remain subject to the claims of creditors of the Company present or future. Amounts payable to any Participant under the Plan shall be a general, unsecured obligation of the Company. The right of the Participant or Beneficiary to receive payment pursuant to the Plan shall be no greater than the right of other unsecured creditors of the Company. 3.15 This Plan is hereby instituted this 28th day of June, 1998. 4.

The Company may also appoint or engage a trustee, custodian or administrator to administer or implement the Plan or a Program. 4.2 The Company shall keep or cause to be kept such records and accounts as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the administration of the Plan and the discharge of its duties.

- 9 - PART II STOCK OPTION PROGRAM 5. STOCK OPTION PROGRAM DEFINITIONS -------------------------------- 5.1 In this Program, the following terms have the following meanings: (a) "Designated Amount" of a Participant's Option means the maximum number of Shares which the Participant may purchase under the Option, as designated by the Company; (b) "Designated Percentage" in respect of an Option means the percentage of the Designated Amount representing the maximum number of Shares which a Participant may purchase under the Option during each Option Year which, unless otherwise determined by the Company, shall be 20% commencing on the second Option Year, 40% commencing on the third Option Year, 60% commencing on the fourth Option Year, 80% commencing on the fifth Option Year and 100% commencing on the sixth Option Year; (c) "Option Price" in respect of an Option means the price designated by the Company at which the Participant may purchase a Share under the Option; and (d) "Program" means this Stock Option Program. 6. GRANTING OF OPTIONS AND DETERMINATION OF THE OPTION PRICE --------------------------------------------------------- 6.1 From time to time the Company may grant Options to Participants to acquire Shares in accordance with the Plan. In granting each such Option, the Company shall designate: (a) the Designated Amount of Shares; (b) the Earliest Exercise Date, which may be the Date of Grant; (c) the Latest Exercise Date, which shall be no later than ten years after the Date of Grant; (d) the Designated Percentage; and (e) the Option Price, which price shall be determined by the Company in accordance with section 6.2. 6.2 The Option Price per Share in respect of an Option shall be not less than the price per Share of the last reporting selling price of at least a Board Lot of the Shares on the TSE on the day preceding the Date of Grant of the Option and, if there were no such trades on that day, the weighted average trading price of the Shares for the previous five days on which the Shares traded on the TSE.
- 10 - 6.3 Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Company may determine other terms or conditions, if any, of any Options, including: (a) any additional conditions on the grant of Options under the Program, including conditions as to the ownership of Shares by a Participant; (b) any additional conditions with respect to the exercise of Options under the Program, including conditions in respect of (i) the market price of the Shares, (ii) the financial performance or results of the Company, a Subsidiary, a Designated Affiliated Entity or business unit, and (iii) restrictions on the re-sale of Shares acquired on the exercise of Options; and (c) such other terms or conditions as the Company may in its discretion determine. 6.4 At the discretion of the Company, an Option granted under the Plan may have connected therewith any number of rights or fractions of rights. Each such right in respect of a Share shall entitle the Participant to surrender to the Company, unexercised, the right to subscribe for such Share pursuant to the related Option and to receive from the Company cash in an amount equal to the excess of the market price ("market price" for this purpose shall mean the weighted average price per Share (or the mean of the closing bid and ask prices, if not traded) on the TSE during the period five trading days preceding the date of the determination) over the Exercise Price provided in the related Option. Each exercise of a right in respect of a Share covered by a related Option shall terminate that Option in respect of such Share and such Option in respect of such Share shall be of no further force or effect. Unexercised rights shall terminate when the related Option is exercised or the Option terminates. 7. EXERCISE OF PARTICIPANT'S OPTIONS --------------------------------- 7.1 Subject to the provisions of the Plan, an Option may be exercised by the Participant only on or after the Earliest Exercise Date and thereafter from time to time at his or her discretion to purchase in the aggregate a number of Shares equal to the aggregate of the previously unexercised portion of the Designated Amount provided that, unless the Company at any time otherwise determines, (a) subject to clause (b) of this section 7.1, the maximum number of Shares which the Participant may purchase under the Option during each of the Years commencing on the Earliest Exercise Date of the Option shall be equal to the number of Shares represented by the Designated Percentage of the Designated Amount of the Option, and (b) if the number of Shares purchased under the Option during any of the Years is less than the maximum number which could have been purchased under the Option during that Year, the difference shall be carried forward and added to the
- 11 - maximum number of Shares which may be purchased under the Option in the immediately following Year, and so on from time to time, provided that the percentage of the Designated Amount which the Participant may purchase under an Option shall not exceed one hundred per cent (100%). 7.2 Notwithstanding section 7.1, Options may be exercised at any time following a Change in Control. 7.3 Unless the Company at any time otherwise determines, a Participant's Option shall terminate and may not be exercised after the earliest of: (a) in the case of the termination of employment with the Company for cause, immediately as of the time of such termination; (b) 30 days after the date of the Participant's termination of employment with the Company, unless such termination occurs by reason of termination of the Participant's employment for cause or the Participant's death, disability or Retirement as contemplated in subsections (a), (c) or (d) of this section, in which case the provisions of the applicable subsection shall govern; (c) three years after the Participant's Retirement provided that if the Participant dies prior to the expiry of the first two years of such three-year period the Option shall terminate one year after the Participant's death; (d) one year after the Participant's death or the termination of employment with the Company by reason of his disability (as determined by the Company in its sole discretion); and (e) the Latest Exercise Date of the Participant's Option; provided that, in any event, the Option shall terminate no later than ten years after the Date of Grant. 7.4 The exercise of an Option under the Plan shall be made by notice to the Company in writing specifying and subscribing for the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised at that time and, except where payment is made by another means satisfactory to the Company such as wire transfer of funds, accompanied by a certified cheque or bank draft payable to the Company in the amount of the aggregate Option Price for such number of Shares. Upon receipt of such notice and payment, the Shares in respect of which the Option has been exercised shall be issued as fully-paid and non-assessable shares of the Company. As of the business day the Company receives such notice and such payment, the Participant (or the person claiming through him, as the case may be) shall be entitled to be entered on the share register of the Company as the holder of the number of Shares in respect of which the Option was exercised and to receive as promptly as possible thereafter a certificate representing the said number of Shares. 7.5 A Participant may, in lieu of an exercise of an Option under section 7.4, exercise an Option for a number of Shares without payment of the Option Price by notice to the Company
- 12 - in writing specifying the Participant is subscribing for that number of Shares to which the Participant is entitled under this Program without payment of the Option Price. The number of Shares to be issued or provided to the Participant is the number obtained by dividing (a) the difference between the Market Price and the Option Price multiplied by the number of the Shares in respect of which the Option would otherwise be exercised under section 7.4 with the payment of the aggregate Option Price by (b) the Market Price. The Shares issued in respect thereof shall be considered fully paid in consideration of past service that is no less in value than the fair equivalent of the money the Company would have received if the Shares had been issued for money. 7.6 Unless otherwise determined by the Company, if the Participant is a person who has knowledge of a "material fact" or "material change" (each as defined under the SECURITIES ACT (Ontario)) in respect of the Company that has not been generally disclosed in accordance with applicable securities legislation and adequately disseminated to the public, he or she shall not be entitled to exercise the Option. 8. EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF OPTION ------------------------------- 8.1 If any Option has terminated or expired without being fully exercised, any unissued Shares which have been reserved to be issued upon the exercise of the Option shall become available to be issued upon the exercise of Options subsequently granted under the Program. 9. CHANGES IN SHARE CAPITAL ------------------------ 9.1 If the number of outstanding Shares of the Company shall be increased or decreased as a result of a stock split, consolidation, reclassification or recapitalization and not as a result of the issuance of Shares for additional consideration or by way of a stock dividend in the ordinary course, the Company may make appropriate adjustments to the Designated Option Amount of any Option which has previously been granted under the Program, the maximum number of Shares which the Participant may thereafter purchase under such Option, the Option Price in respect of such Option and any maximum number of Shares which may be issued under the Program. Any determinations by the Company as to the adjustments shall be made in its sole discretion and all such adjustments shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes under the Program. 9.2 No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of an Option nor shall any scrip certificates in lieu thereof be issuable at any time. Accordingly, if as a result of any adjustment under section 9.1 a Participant would otherwise have become entitled to a fractional share upon the exercise of an Option, he shall have the right to purchase only the next lower whole number of Shares and no payment or other adjustment will be made with respect to the fractional interests so disregarded. 10. LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS --------------------- 10.1 Subject to Applicable Law, the Company may in its sole discretion arrange for the Company, any Subsidiary or any Designated Affiliated Entity to make loans or provide guarantees for loans by financial institutions to assist Participants to purchase Shares upon the

In making such determinations, the Company may take into account the Participant's level of responsibility, rate of compensation, individual performance and contribution, and such other criteria as it deems appropriate, in assessing the value of such past service of the Participant in respect of such Fiscal Year. 19.2 At the option of either the Company or the Participant, the amount payable to a Participant under any bonus, profit sharing or gain-sharing program by the Company, a Subsidiary or a Designated Affiliated Entity in respect of a Fiscal Year, or a portion thereof, may be provided in the form of Performance Grants in lieu thereof, provided the Company or Participant so elects prior to the completion of the relevant Fiscal Year.

PERFORMANCE UNITS ----------------- 20.1 Subject to section 20.2 and Article 21, and unless at any time otherwise determined by the Company at any time, the Performance Units shall be issued or provided in the form of Shares on the Release Date as determined under Article 19. 20.2 Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Company may determine other terms or conditions of any Performance Units, including (a) any additional conditions with respect to the issue or provision of Shares under the Program, including conditions in respect of (i) the market price of the Shares, (ii) the financial performance or results of the Company, a Subsidiary, a Designated Affiliated Entity or business unit and (iii) restrictions on the re-sale of Shares acquired under the Program; and (b) any other terms and conditions the Company may in its discretion determine. 21. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND FORFEITURES ----------------------------------------- 21.1 Unless otherwise determined by the Company at any time, if a Participant ceases to be employed by the Company, a Subsidiary or Designated Affiliated Entity for any reason other than death, long-term disability or Retirement, there shall be forfeited as of such termination of employment such Performance Units as have not been issued or provided in the form of Shares in accordance with the Plan. No cash or other compensation shall at any time be paid in lieu of any such Performance Units which have been forfeited under this Plan. 21.2 If (i) a Participant dies or ceases to be an employee of the Company, a Subsidiary or a Designated Affiliated Entity by reason of long-term disability or Retirement or (ii) for any other reason specified in each case by the Company, all Performance Units shall be issued or provided in the form of Shares to such Participant or his or her Beneficiary on a date determined by the Company which shall in any event be not later than one year following the event. 21.3 If there is a Change of Control, all Performance Units shall be issued or provided in the form of Shares to all Participants.
- 20 - 22. ISSUE OF SHARES --------------- 22.1 The number of Shares to be issued or provided shall be equal to the whole number of Performance Units which are to be released. Where, under section 20.1, the number of Units allocated would result in the issue of a fractional Unit in the form of a fractional Share, the number of Units to be issued in the form of Shares shall be rounded down to the next whole number of Performance Units. No fractional Shares shall be issued or provided nor shall cash be paid at any time in lieu of any such fractional interest. Any such fractional interests of a Unit which, together with other fractional interests, form a whole Unit, shall be issued or provided in the form of a Share as part of the Units to be issued or provided to the Participant on the next applicable Release Date, if any. 22.2 Shares issued by the Company from treasury under the Performance Share Program shall be considered fully paid in consideration of past service that is no less in value than the fair equivalent of the money the Company would have received if the Shares had been issued for money. 22.3 If so determined by the Company, in lieu of the issue or provision of Shares, the Company may satisfy the issuance or provision of Shares under the Program, in whole or in part, by the payment of a cash amount to a Participant on the Release Date. The amount of such payment shall be equal to the number of Shares in respect of which the Company makes such a determination, multiplied by the Market Price on the Release Date, subject to any applicable withholding tax. 23. MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES TO BE ISSUED UNDER PROGRAM ----------------------- 23.1 The number of Shares which may be issued from the treasury of the Company under this Program is limited to 2,000,000. The number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to the Program to any one person shall not exceed 1% of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the Company. In each case, the Company may from time to time designate such other maximum number which, however, will not in any event exceed the maximum number permitted from time to time under Stock Exchange Rules. 23.2 If Performance Units are forfeited under this Plan, they shall again be available for allocation under this Program. 24. CHANGES IN SHARE CAPITAL ------------------------ 24.1 If the number of outstanding Shares shall be increased or decreased as a result of a stock split, consolidation, subdivision, reclassification or recapitalization and not as a result of the issuance of Shares for additional consideration or by way of a stock dividend in the ordinary course, the Company may make appropriate adjustments to any maximum number of Shares which can be issued under the Program and the number of Performance Units granted to each Participant. Any determinations by the Company as to the adjustments shall be made in its sole discretion and all such adjustments shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes under the Program.
- 21 - 25. REORGANIZATION -------------- 25.1 In the event of a Reorganization or proposed Reorganization, the Company, at its option, may, subject to Stock Exchange Rules, do either of the following: (a) the Company may irrevocably commute for or into any other security or other property or cash any Performance Unit upon giving to any Participant to whom such Performance Unit has been granted at least 30 days' written notice of its intention to commute the Performance Unit, and during such period of notice, the Participant may elect to require the Company to issue or provide the Performance Units in the Participant's account as Shares, without regard to the limitations contained in section 20.1, or (b) the Company, or any corporation which is or would be the successor to the Company or which may issue securities in exchange for Shares upon the Reorganization becoming effective, may offer any Participant the opportunity to obtain securities into which the Shares are changed or are convertible or exchangeable, on a basis proportionate to the number of Performance Units in the Participant's account or some other appropriate basis, or some other property; in such event, the Participant shall, if he or she accepts such offer, be deemed to have released his or her rights relating to the Performance Units and such Performance Units shall be deemed to have terminated. 25.2 The Company may specify in any notice or offer made under section 25.1, that, if for any reason, the Reorganization is not completed, the Company may revoke such notice or offer. The Company may exercise such right by further notice in writing to the Participant and the Performance Unit shall thereafter continue to be allocated to the Participant in accordance with its terms. 25.3 Subsections (a) and (b) of section 25.1 are intended to be permissive and may be utilized independently or successively or in combination or otherwise, and nothing therein contained shall be construed as limiting or affecting the ability of the Company to deal with Performance Units in any other manner.

SHARES USED IN SUB-PLAN The Shares shall form part of the Ordinary Share Capital of the Company and shall at all times comply with the requirements of paragraphs 10 to 14 of Schedule 9 to ICTA 1988.viii 10. GRANT OF OPTIONS An option granted under the Sub-Plan shall be granted under and subject to the rules of the Plan as modified by this schedule. 11. IDENTIFICATION OF OPTIONS A Notification of Grant of Option issued in respect of an Option shall expressly state that it is issued in respect of an Option. An option which is not so identified shall not constitute an Option. 12. CONTENTS OF NOTIFICATION OF GRANT OF OPTION A Notification of Grant of Option issued in respect of an Option shall state: a) that it is issued in respect of an Option; b) the Date of Grant of the Option; c) the number of Shares subject to the Option; d) the exercise price of the Shares under Option; e) any performance target or other condition imposed on the exercise of the Option; and
f) the date(s) on which the Option will ordinarily become exercisable. 13. EARLIEST DATE FOR GRANT OF OPTIONS An Option may not be granted earlier than the Approval Date. 14. PERSONS TO WHOM OPTIONS MAY BE GRANTED An Option may not be granted to an individual who is not an Eligible Employee at the Date of Grant. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding sections 1, 2.1(g) and 2.1(t)(iii) of the Plan an Option may not be granted under the Sub-Plan to a Consultant. 15. OPTIONS NON TRANSFERABLE An Option shall be personal to the Eligible Employee to whom it is granted and shall not be capable of being transferred, charged or otherwise alienated and shall lapse immediately if the Option Holder purports to transfer, charge or otherwise alienate the Option. The reference in section 3.6 of the Plan to transfers of Options to a spouse, a personal holding company or family trust controlled by a Participant and the reference to Beneficiaries in section 2.1(b) of the Plan shall be disapplied for the purposes of the Sub-Plan. 16. LIMIT ON NUMBER OF SHARES PLACED UNDER OPTION UNDER SUB-PLAN For the avoidance of doubt, Shares placed under Option under the Sub-Plan shall be taken into account for the purpose of section 3.2 of the Plan. 17. INLAND REVENUE LIMIT ((POUND)30,000) An Option may not be granted to an Eligible Employee if the result of granting the Option would be that the aggregate Market Value of the shares subject to all outstanding options granted to him under the Sub-Plan or any other share option scheme established by the Company or an Associated Company and approved by the Board of Inland Revenue under Schedule 9 to ICTA 1988 (other than a savings related share option scheme) would exceed sterling (pound)30,000 or such other limit as may from time to time be specified in paragraph 28 of Schedule 9 to ICTA 1988ix. For this purpose, the United Kingdom sterling equivalent of the Market Value of a Share on any day shall be determined by taking the noon day sterling/US dollar exchange rate for that day as quoted by the Bank of Canada. 18. EXERCISE PRICE OF SHARES UNDER OPTION The amount payable per Share on the exercise of an Option shall not be less than the Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant and shall be stated on the Date of Grant.
- A7 - 19. PERFORMANCE TARGET OR OTHER CONDITION IMPOSED ON EXERCISE OF OPTION Any performance target or other condition imposed on the exercise of an Option under section 6.3 of the Plan shall be: 19.1 objective; 19.2 such that, once satisfied, the exercise of the Option is not subject to the discretion of any person; and 19.3 stated on the Date of Grant. If an event occurs as a result of which the Committee considers that a performance target or other condition imposed on the exercise of an Option is no longer appropriate and substitutes, varies or waives under section 3.4 of the Plan the performance target or condition, such substitution, variation or waiver shall: 19.4 be reasonable in the circumstances; and 19.5 produce a fairer measure of performance and be neither materially more nor less difficult to satisfy. 20. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS BY LEAVERS The period during which an Option shall remain exercisable following termination of employment shall be as stated in the Notification of Grant of Option or in the absence of any stated period therein shall be as set out in section 7.3 of the Plan, except that the reference in section 7.3 of the Plan to "unless the Company at any time otherwise determines" shall be disapplied for the purposes of the Sub-Plan. 21. LATEST DATE FOR EXERCISE OF OPTIONS The period during which an Option shall remain exercisable shall be stated in the Notification of Grant of Option and any Option not exercised by that time shall lapse immediately. 22. MATERIAL INTEREST An Option may not be exercised if the Option Holder then has, or has had within the preceding twelve months, a Material Interest in a Close Company which is the Company or which is a company which has Control of the Company or which is a member of a Consortium which owns the Company.
- A8 - 23. MANNER OF PAYMENT FOR SHARES ON EXERCISE OF OPTIONS The amount due on the exercise of an Option shall be paid in cash or by cheque or banker's draft and may be paid out of funds provided to the Option Holder on loan by a bank, broker or other person. For the avoidance of doubt, the exercise procedure in section 7.5 of the Plan shall be disapplied for the purposes of the Sub-Plan if this involves a broker transferring to the Company the sale proceeds of optioned Shares. The date of exercise of an Option shall be the date on which the Company receives the amount due on the exercise of the Option. 24. ISSUE OR TRANSFER OF SHARES ON EXERCISE OF OPTIONS The Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of exercise of an Option, issue or transfer to the Option Holder, or procure the issue or transfer to the Option Holder of, the number of Shares specified in the notice of exercise and shall deliver to the Option Holder, or procure the delivery to the Option Holder of, a share certificate in respect of such Shares together with, in the case of the partial exercise of an Option, a Notification of Grant of Option in respect of, or the original Notification of Grant of Option endorsed to show, the unexercised part of the Option, subject only to compliance by the Option Holder with the rules of the Sub-Plan and subject to any delay as necessary to complete or obtain: 24.1 the listing of the Shares on any stock exchange on which Shares are then listed; 24.2 such registration or other qualification of the Shares under any applicable law, rule or regulation as the Company determines is necessary or desirable; or 24.3 the making of provision for the payment or withholding of any taxes required to be withheld in accordance with the applicable law of any foreign jurisdiction in respect of the exercise of the Option or the receipt of the Shares 25. RIGHTS ATTACHING TO SHARES ISSUED ON EXERCISE OF OPTIONS All Shares issued on the exercise of an Option shall, as to any voting, dividend, transfer and other rights, including those arising on a liquidation of the Company, rank equally in all respects and as one class with the Shares in issue at the date of such exercise save as regards any rights attaching to such Shares by reference to a record date prior to the date of such exercise. Reference in section 6.3(b)(iii) of the Plan to imposing restrictions of the re-sale of Shares acquired on the exercise of Options shall be disapplied to the extent that these do not apply to all share of the same class or not otherwise permitted by paragraph 12(2) of Schedule 9 to ICTA.
- A9 - 26. AMENDMENT OF SUB-PLAN Notwithstanding section 3.4 of the Plan, no amendment of the Sub-Plan, shall take effect until it has been approved by the Inland Revenue. 27. ADJUSTMENT OF OPTIONS Notwithstanding section 9.1 of the Plan, no adjustment may be made to an Option until it has been approved by the Inland Revenue. 28. EXERCISE OF DISCRETION BY COMMITTEE In exercising any discretion which it may have under the Sub-Plan, the Committee shall act fairly and reasonably. 29. DISAPPLICATION OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF PLAN The provisions of the Plan dealing with: a) Rights; b) Performance Units; and c) loans to Participants shall not form part of, and no such rights may be granted under, the Sub-Plan. - -------- Notes i The Company is the "grantor" as defined in paragraph 1 of Schedule 9 to ICTA 1988 because it has established the Sub-Plan. In most cases, it will also be the Company which grants options under the Sub-Plan, although this is not a requirement of UK tax legislation. ii A company is treated as another's "associated company" at a given time if, at that time or at any other time within one year previously, one of the two has control of the other, or both are under the control of the same person or persons. A person is taken to have control of a company if he exercises, or is able to exercise or is entitled to acquire, direct or indirect control over the company's affairs and, in particular, if he possesses or is entitled to acquire the greater part of the company's issued share capital or the voting power in the company. UK tax legislation contains two definitions of control: the definition of control here is different from that in paragraph 4 below. iii A close company is a company which is under the control (as defined in paragraph 1 above) of five or fewer participators (eg shareholders) or of any number of participators who are directors. There are attributed to a participator all the rights and powers (eg shares, voting power) of, inter alia, a company which he controls or of an "associate" (eg relative) of his. Ordinarily, a company is excluded from being a close company if it is non UK resident or 35% of the voting power in the company is held by the public and its shares have been listed, and the subject of dealings, on a recognised stock exchange within the preceding 12 months. However, for the purpose of the material interest test (see paragraph 5 below), this exclusion does not apply with the result that the normal definition of a "close company" is extended.
- A10 - iv A company is a member of a consortium owning another company if it is one of a number of companies which between them beneficially own not less than three-quarters of the other company's ordinary share capital and each of which beneficially owns not less than one-twentieth of that capital. v Control means the power of a person to secure: (a) by means of the holding of shares or the possession of voting power in or in relation to that or any other body corporate; or (b) by virtue of any powers conferred by the articles of association or other document regulating that or any other body corporate that the affairs of the first-mentioned body corporate are conducted in accordance with the wishes of that person. vi The expression "recognised stock exchange" is defined in section 841 of ICTA 1988. "Recognised stock exchange" means the London Stock Exchange Limited and any stock exchange outside the UK which has been designated by the Inland Revenue as a recognised stock exchange. This includes, inter alia, the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ and any exchange registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission as a national securities exchange. However, clearance is required from the Shares Valuation Division before the NASDAQ price may be used to determine the market price of a NASDAQ listed share. vii A person has a material interest in a company if he, either on his own or with one or more associates, or if any associate of his with or without such other associates: (a) is the beneficial owner of, or able, directly or through the medium of other companies, or by any other indirect means to control, more than 10 per cent of the ordinary share capital of the company; or (b) where the company is a close company, possesses, or is entitled to acquire, such rights as would, in the event of the winding-up of the company or in any other circumstances, give an entitlement to receive more than 10 per cent of the assets which would then be available for distribution among the participators. viii The shares used in the scheme must be: (a) ordinary shares; (b) fully paid up; (c) not redeemable; and (d) save for certain limited exceptions, not subject to any restrictions which do not apply to all shares of the same class. The shares used in the scheme must be: (a) of a class listed on a recognised stock exchange; or (b) shares in a company which is not under the control of another company; or (c) shares in a company which is under the control of another company (other than a company which is, or would if resident in the UK be, a close company) whose shares are listed on a recognised stock exchange. The shares used in the scheme form part of the ordinary share capital of: (a) the grantor (ie the company which has established the scheme); or (b) a company which has control of the grantor; or (c) a company which either is, or has control of, a company which is a member of a consortium owning either the grantor or a company having control of the grantor. Where the company whose shares are to be used in a scheme has more than one class of ordinary share, the majority of the issued shares of the same class as those which are to be used must be either employee control shares (see below) or: (a) must not be held by persons (including trustees holding shares on behalf of such persons) who acquired their shares in pursuance of a right conferred on them or opportunity offered to them as directors or employees of any company, and not in pursuance of an offer to the public; and (b) if the shares are not listed on a recognised stock exchange and the company is under the control of another company whose shares are so listed, must not be held by companies which have control of the company whose shares are in question or of which that company is an associated company. Shares are employee control shares if: (a) the persons holding them are, by virtue of their holding of shares of that class, together able to control the company; and (b) those persons are, or have been, employees or directors of the company or of another company which is under the control of the company.
