  (b)   the reportable transaction is a purchase of securities; and

  (c)   a transfer of the securities concerned pursuant to the purchase would be an ASTC - regulated transfer; and

  (d)   at the end of the prescribed period for the transaction:

  (i)   if subparagraph   (ii) does not apply, the buying client has paid to the dealer the purchase price in relation to the purchase; and
