21.3.6. In determining, for the purposes of sections 21.3.2 and 21.3.3, the number of shares of the capital stock of a particular corporation owned by a significant shareholder, or a significant group of shareholders, of the particular corporation, subparagraph a of the first paragraph of section 21.3.5 applies, but with reference to the following rules:

(a)  despite paragraph d of section 21.20.2,

i.  a shareholder of another corporation is deemed to own all the shares of the capital stock of the particular corporation that are owned, or deemed to be owned because of the application of this section, by the other corporation, if the shares of the capital stock of the other corporation owned by the shareholder give the shareholder 50% or more of the votes that could be cast under all circumstances at the annual meeting of shareholders of the other corporation, and

ii.  the presumption in subparagraph i applies to a particular group consisting of members of a significant group of shareholders of the particular corporation who are shareholders of another corporation, if the shares of the capital stock of the other corporation owned by the particular group give the particular group 50% or more of the votes that could be cast under all circumstances at the annual meeting of shareholders of the other corporation;

(b)  a person who is a shareholder of more than one corporation, in this paragraph referred to as the “intermediary corporations”, may not be deemed to own a number of shares of the capital stock of the particular corporation that are owned, or deemed to be owned because of the application of this section, by another corporation of which the intermediary corporations are shareholders that is greater than the number of those shares that the person would be deemed to own if this section applied to each intermediary corporation without reference to the rule set out in subparagraph i of paragraph a; and

(c)  if a significant group of shareholders of the particular corporation includes persons each of whom is deemed to own, because of the application of this section, shares of the capital stock of the particular corporation that are owned by another corporation, the total number of those shares that those persons are deemed to own may not be greater than the number of shares of that capital stock that the other corporation owns.
