(3) Condition A is that the effect of the arrangements is that there could be a change in— (a) the proportion of profits to which any of the participating equity holders would be beneficially entitled on the profit distribution if it were made at a time after the relevant time, or (b) the proportion of assets to which any of the participating equity holders would be beneficially entitled on the notional winding up if it occurred at a time after the relevant time. (4) Condition B is that, under the arrangements, the change could result from the exercise of— (a) a right to acquire ordinary shares in company B (see section 160) or securities in company B, or (b) a right to require a person to acquire such shares or securities. (5) For the purposes of subsection (4)— (a) it does not matter whether or not the shares or securities were issued before the arrangements were put in place, (b) “right” does not include a right within subsection (6), and (c) “securities” does not include normal commercial loans (as defined by section 162). (6) A right is within this subsection if it— (a) is a right of an individual to acquire shares, (b) was obtained because of the individual's office or employment as a director or employee of company B, and (c) was obtained in accordance with a share option scheme at a time when the scheme was an approved share option scheme. (7) In subsection (6)(c)— “share option scheme” means— an SAYE option scheme within the meaning of the SAYE code (see section 516(4) of ITEPA 2003), or a CSOP scheme within the meaning of the CSOP code (see section 521(4) of ITEPA 2003), and “approved” means— in relation to an SAYE option scheme, approved under Schedule 3 to ITEPA 2003, and in relation to a CSOP scheme, approved under Schedule 4 to ITEPA 2003.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
