  (b)   then, allocate that value among the classes of shares in the company that:

  (i)   have been issued; or

  (ii)   APRA proposes to direct be issued (taking into account the relative financial risk, and voting and distribution rights, of the classes); and

  (c)   then, allocate the value of each class pro rata among the shares in that class that:

  (i)   have been issued; or

  (ii)   APRA proposes to direct be issued (without allowing a premium or applying a discount for particular shares in that class).

  (2)   The Minister may give the expert written notice of assumptions for the valuation of the company.

  (3)   The Minister may, by further written notice given to the expert, revoke, but not vary, notice of the assumptions.
