An election under this regulation is irrevocable and applies to all RICs applied for under the application.
Subregulation 3
If, due to the debiting of an amount of RICs under section 93B(40)(a) of the Act, the amount of RICs for which an election was made under this regulation is reduced (but not to zero), then the reduction is to be made on the basis that an amount of RICs to be paid to the awardee company on a later date is reduced before an amount of RICs to be paid to the awardee company on an earlier date.
