For section 1444 of the Act, this regulation applies in relation to a person:


(a) who:


(i) held pre-FSR securities at the FSR commencement; or

(ii) acquired the pre-FSR securities at any time after the FSR commencement under the relevant old legislation; and


(b) in relation to whom disclosure was not required under section 708 of the old Corporations Act in respect of the particular offer of the pre-FSR securities.

10.2.136(2)   [ Deemed wholesale client]  

The person is taken to be a wholesale client in relation to the pre-FSR securities as between the person and the issuer for the period:


(a) starting on the earlier of:


(i) the FSR commencement; and

(ii) the day on which the pre-FSR securities were acquired; and


(b) during which the holder holds the pre-FSR securities.

10.2.136(3)   [ Effect]  

Subregulation (2) applies whether or not the holder would, but for that subregulation, have become a retail client in relation to the pre-FSR securities at some time after the FSR commencement.
