(b) cases involving redemption arrangements (see sub-paragraph (6)).

(2) A case is a non-standard repo case if—

(b) there has been a sale of the securities under the arrangement or arrangements by reference to which the company has the repo, and

(6) A case involves redemption arrangements if—

(a) arrangements, corresponding to those made in cases where a company has a repo, are made in relation to securities that are to be redeemed in the period after their sale, and

(a) make different provision for different cases, and

(b) contain incidental, supplemental, consequential and transitional provision and savings.
