Part 4.3. (2) A person referred to in subsection (1) is, for the purposes of section 168 (and the further operation of this section), taken to have held shares in the new co-operative and as having had those shares in the new co-operative forfeited under this Part when the person's shares in the original co-operative were forfeited.
