(c)    no other redemption offer is open in relation to the sub-fund.

1230J(2)    
The redemption offer must:

(a)    be in writing; and

The redemption offer must specify:

(a)    the period during which the offer will remain open (this period must last for at least 21 days after the offer is made); and

(b)    the assets that will be used to satisfy redemption requests; and

(c)    the amount of money that is expected to be available when those assets are converted to money; and

A CCIV that makes a redemption offer under this section:
