A person who is a substantial shareholder in a company must give written notice to the company stating the person’s name and address and full particulars (including, unless the interest or interests cannot be related to a particular share or shares, the name of the person who is registered as the holder) of the voting shares in the company in which the person has an interest or interests and full particulars of each such interest and of the circumstances by reason of which the person has that interest.
The notice must be given —
if the person was a substantial shareholder on 1 October 1971 — within one month after that date; or
if the person became a substantial shareholder after that date — within 2 business days after becoming a substantial shareholder.
The notice must be so given even though the person has ceased to be a substantial shareholder before the expiration of whichever period referred to in subsection (2) is applicable.
