(b) the statement is not a correct TB statement about the share, with the result that, apart from this subsection, this section applies; and
(c) either:
(i) the trustee could not reasonably have foreseen the event that caused the statement not to be a correct TB statement; or
(ii) the statement is not a correct TB statement because of an inadvertent error; and
