a an option is granted on or after 16th March 1993, b the option is a securities option within the meaning of Chapter 5 of Part 7 of ITEPA 2003 (see section 420(8) of that Act) to which that Chapter applies ... (see section 471 of that Act),

and c section 17(1) of this Act would (apart from this section) apply for the purposes of calculating the consideration for the grant of the option.
