(i) each ICAV shall be relieved, as respects, and only as respects, that particular change or, as the case may be, those particular changes, of the obligation under subsection (6) to send a notification of it or them to the Bank, and
(ii) the Bank may proceed to record the relevant change or changes concerning the person in relation to each ICAV.
