Section 79: Supplementary.

Companies Act 1985 · 1985 c. 6View on legislation.gov.uk

Part III: Capital Issues — Chapter II: Issues by Companies Incorporated, or to be Incorporated, Outside Great Britain

Where a document by which the shares or debentures of a company incorporated outside Great Britain are offered for sale to the public would, if the company had been a company incorporated under this Act, have been deemed by virtue of section 58 to be a prospectus issued by the company, that document is deemed, for the purposes of this Chapter, a prospectus so issued.

An offer of shares or debentures for subscription or sale to a person whose ordinary business it is to buy or sell shares or debentures (whether as principal or agent) is not deemed an offer to the public for those purposes.

In this Chapter "shares" and "debentures" have the same meaning as when those expressions are used, elsewhere in this Act, in relation to a company incorporated under this Act.
