(1) In this section -
'investment undertaking' has the same meaning as in section 739B(1);
'scheme of amalgamation' means an arrangement whereby the assets of an offshore fund are transferred to an investment undertaking in exchange for the issue by the investment undertaking of units to each of the persons who have a material interest in the offshore fund, in proportion to the value of that interest, and as a result of which the value of that interest becomes negligible.
(2) Where, in connection with a scheme of amalgamation, a person disposes of a material interest in an offshore fund and receives, in place of that interest, units in an investment undertaking, the disposal of the interest in the offshore fund shall not give rise to a gain but the units acquired in the investment undertaking under that scheme shall for the purposes of Chapter 1A be treated as acquired at the same time and at the same cost as the interest in the offshore fund.
