The legislation contains certain exemptions which may apply to normal employee share schemes arrangements operated through EBTs. However, the provisions are complicated and restrictive. Companies and their advisers should consider the impact of Part 7A when adopting, or continuing to operate, an employee share plan supported by an EBT.
