The specific feedback from Staff was that in Section 8.4 “Conditions on recipient of transfer” be changed to read “Specified Recipients” rather than just “Recipients” to underline that the conditions of section 8.5 do not apply to M&A style transfers.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The revised policy statement is below.
