In addition, because the investor is hypothetical, the investment
In practice, the assessment of the nature of a particular body corporate will have to be made by applying the definition whenever an authorised person proposes to communicate an invitation or inducement to others for them to participate in the body corporate by buying shares or securities issued by it.

3The Premium Listing Principles are as follows:
Premium Listing Principle 1 |
A listed company must take reasonable steps to enable its directors to understand their responsibilities and obligations as directors. |
Premium Listing Principle 2 |
A listed company must act with integrity towards the holders and potential holders of its premium listedsecurities5. |
Premium Listing Principle 3 |
All equity shares in a class that has been admitted to premium listing must carry an equal number of votes on any shareholder vote.

Premium Listing Principle 4 |
Where a listed company has more than one class of securities admitted5 to premium listing, the aggregate voting rights of the securities5 in each class should be broadly proportionate to the relative interests of those classes in the equity of the listed company. |
Premium Listing Principle 5 |
A listed company must ensure that it treats all holders of the same class of its premium listedsecurities and its5listedequity shares that are in the same position equally in respect of the rights attaching to those premium listedsecurities and5listedequity shares. |
Premium Listing Principle 6 |
A listed company must communicate information to holders and potential holders of its premium listedsecurities and its5listedequity shares in such a way as to avoid the creation or continuation6 of a false market in those premium listedsecurities and5listedequity shares. |
3In assessing whether the voting rights attaching to different classes of premium listedsecurities5 are proportionate for the purposes of Premium Listing Principle 4, the FCA will have regard to the following non-exhaustive list of factors:5(1) the extent to which the rights of the classes differ other than their voting rights, for example with regard to dividend rights or entitlement to any surplus capital on winding up;(2) the extent of dispersion and relative liquidity of the
