A Member State may decide that investment companies situated within its territory which market at least 80 % of their-units through one or more stock exchanges designated in their instruments of incorporation shall not be required to have depositaries within the meaning of this Directive provided that their units are admitted to official listing on the stock exchanges of those Member States within the territories of which the units are marketed, and that any transactions which such a company may effect outwith stock exchanges are effected at stock exchange prices only. A company's instruments of incorporation must specify the stock exchange in the country of marketing the prices on which shall determine the prices at which that company will effect any transactions outwith stock exchanges in that country. A Member State shall avail itself of the option provided for in the preceding subparagraph only if it considers that unitholders have protection equivalent to that of unit-holders in UCITS which have depositaries within the meaning of this Directive. In particular, such companies and the companies referred to in paragraph 4, must: (a)in the absence of provision in law, state in their instruments of incorporation the methods of calculation of the net asset values of their units; (b)intervene on the market to prevent the stock exchange values of their units from deviating by more than 5 % from their net asset values; (c)establish the net asset values of their units, communicate them to the competent authorities at least twice a week and publish them twice a month. At least twice a month, an independent auditor must ensure that the calculation of the value of units is effected in accordance with the law and the company's instruments of incorporation. On such occasions, the auditor must make sure that the company's assets are invested in accordance with the rules laid down by law and the company's instruments of incorporation.
