possible to the transfer secretaries, in order that they may timeously receive
the scheme consideration. Cheques will be posted to scheme participants, or
cash will be deposited into scheme participants" bank accounts, as the case may
be, on the operative date, if the relevant documents of title are surrendered on
or before the record date, or within five business days after the documents of
