(b) the determination came into force:
(i) after the last day of the period in respect of which the weighted average disclosed price is determined for another brand (the existing brand) of the existing item; and
(ii) before the reduction day; and
(c) the approved ex‑manufacturer price of the existing brand of the existing item is reduced on the reduction day under subsection 99ADH(3).
Price reduction
(2) On the reduction day, the approved ex‑manufacturer price of the new brand of the existing item is taken to be reduced to the same amount as the approved ex‑manufacturer price of the existing brand of the existing item on that day.

(a) a determination under subsection 85B(3) is in force in relation to a particular pack quantity of the new brand of the existing item; and
