(e) Sections 790ZF and 790ZG make provision for excluding certain material from the information available to the public.”
Key terms
Section 790C applies to LLPs with the following modifications.
Read references to a company as references to an LLP.
Subsection (7) is modified so that it reads as follows—

(b) it is a DTR5 issuer,
(c) it is a company or other legal entity which has voting shares admitted to trading—
(i) on a regulated market in an EEA State other than the United Kingdom; or
(ii) on a market listed in Schedule 1 to the PSC Regulations.”.
Omit subsection (11).
In subsection (12), omit “and to any modifications prescribed by regulations under this subsection”.
After subsection (12), insert—

12B “PSC Regulations” means the Register of People with Significant Control Regulations 20166.

12D For the purposes of subsection (12C), “voting rights” means rights to vote at general meetings of the company or legal entity in question, including rights that arise only in certain circumstances, and in relation to a legal entity that does not have general meetings at which matters are decided by the exercise of voting rights, a reference to voting rights is to be read as a reference to rights in relation to the entity that are equivalent to those of a person entitled to exercise voting rights in a company.”.
