(g) shares (also ordinary shares ) of the same class in the holding company may be issued within the limitation period to new members;
(h) the total number of ordinary shares issued to members under paragraphs (f) and (g) is the same as the total number of ordinary shares issued to the holding company under paragraph (d);
