(i) If the company notifies members that it intends until further notice to give members the option to receive distributions from share premium reserve account in lieu of dividends from profits then members who wish to receive dividends from profits of the same amount per share as the distributions from share premium reserve account must give prior written notice to the company that they elect to receive such dividends (such notice being referred to as a "dividend election notice"); provided that dividend election notices which are not received by the company at least 28 days before the date of payment of the distribution from share premium account will not be effective in respect of that payment but will be effective in respect of all subsequent payments;
