This section provides regulations under section a 5 A and B regarding the circumstances in which warrants, optionsobligations convertible into stockand other similar interests are treated as exercised options purposes of determining whether a corporation is a member of an affiliated group. The fact that an instrument may be treated as an option under these regulations does not prevent such instrument from being treated as stock under general principles of law. Except as provided in paragraph a 2 of this section, this section applies to all provisions under the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations to which affiliation within the meaning of section a with or without the exceptions in section b is relevant, including those provisions that refer to section a 2 with or without the exceptions in section b without referring to affiliation, provided that the 80 percent voting power and 80 percent value requirements of section a 2 are not modified therein. This section does not apply to sections jeor i or to the regulations thereunder. This section also does not apply to any other provision specified by the Internal Revenue Service in regulations, a revenue rulingor revenue procedure. Except as provided in paragraph b 2 of this section, an option is not considered either as stock or as exercised. Thus, options are disregarded in determining whether a corporation is a member of an affiliated group unless they are described in paragraph b 2 of this section. Solely for purposes of determining whether a corporation is a member of an affiliated groupan option is treated as exercised if, on a measurement date with respect to such option. A It could reasonably be anticipated that, if not for this section, the issuance or transfer of the option in lieu of the issuanceredemption, or transfer of the underlying stock would result in the elimination of a substantial amount of federal income tax liability as described in paragraphs e and f of this section ; and. B It is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised as described in paragraph g of this section. All options with the same measurement date are aggregated in determining whether the issuance or transfer of an option in lieu of the issuanceredemption, or transfer of the underlying stock would result in the elimination of a substantial amount of federal income tax liability. An option that is treated as exercised is treated as exercised for purposes of determining the percentage of the value of stock owned by the holder and other parties, but is not treated as exercised for purposes of determining the percentage of the voting power of stock owned by the holder and other parties. B Cash settlement options, stock stock, stock appreciation rights, or similar interests. If a cash settlement optionphantom stockstock appreciation right, or similar interest is treated as exercised, the option is treated as having been converted into stock of the issuing corporation. If the amount to be received upon the exercise of such an option is determined by reference to a multiple of the increase in the value of a share of the issuing corporation 's stock on the exercise date over the value of a share of the stock on the date the option is issuedthe option is treated as converted into a corresponding number of shares of such stock. Appropriate adjustments must be made in any situation in which the amount to be received upon exercise of the option is determined in another manner. For purposes of section a 2 B and this section, all shares of stock within a single class are considered to have the same value. Thus, control premiums and minority and blockage discounts within a single class are not taken into account. The provisions of paragraph b 2 of this section may be illustrated by the following example:. P is still treated as owning all of the voting power of S. Accordingly, because P is treated as owning less than 80 percent of the value of the outstanding S stockP and S are no longer affiliated. However, because X is not treated as owning any of the voting power of S, X and S are also not affiliated. For purposes of this section. For purposes obligations this section, any options issued to the same person or related persons within a two-year period are presumed to be part of a series of options. This presumption may be rebutted if the facts and circumstances clearly establish that the options are not part of a series of options. Any options issued to the same person or related persons more than two years apart are presumed not to be part of a series of options. This presumption may be rebutted if the facts and circumstances clearly establish that the options are part of a series of options. A measurement date does not include a date on which. A An option is issued or transferred by gift, at death, or between spouses or former spouses under section. B An option is issued or transferred stock. C An adjustment occurs in the terms or pursuant to the terms of an option or the underlying stock that does not materially increase the likelihood that the option will be exercised; or. D A change occurs in the exercise price of an option or in the number of shares that may be issued or transferred pursuant to the option as determined by a bona fide, reasonable, adjustment formula that has the effect of preventing dilution of the interests of the holders of the options. If a change or alteration referred to in this paragraph c 4 iii is made for a principal purpose of increasing the likelihood that an option will be exercised, a measurement date also includes any date on which. A The capital structure of the issuing corporation is changed; or. B The fair market value of the stock of the issuing corporation is altered through a transfer of assets to or from the issuing corporation other than regular, ordinary dividends or by any other means. In the case of options issued pursuant to a plana measurement date for any of the options constitutes a measurement date for all options issued pursuant to the plan that are outstanding on the measurement date. In the case of related or sequential optionsa measurement date for any of the options constitutes a measurement date for all related or sequential options that are outstanding on the measurement date. The provisions of paragraph c 4 v of this section may be illustrated by the following example. Accordingly, July 1,constitutes a measurement date for the first warrant as well as for options second warrant. Accordingly, January 1,constitutes a measurement date for the first and second warrants, as well as for the third warrant. For purposes of this section, except to the extent otherwise provided in this paragraph dthe following are treated as options:. For purposes of this section, the following will obligations be treated as options:. Options on stock described in section a 4. Options which on the measurement date are traded on or subject to the rules of a qualified board or exchange as defined in section g 7or on any other exchangeboard of trade, or market specified by the Internal Obligations Service in regulations, a revenue rulingor revenue procedure. Paragraph d 2 ii A of this section does not apply to options issued, transferred, or listed with a stock purpose of avoiding the application of section and this section. For examplea principal purpose of avoiding the application of section and this section may exist if warrants, convertible or exchangeable debt instrumentsor other similar instruments have an exercise price or, in the case of convertible or exchangeable instruments, a conversion or exchange premium that is materially less than, or a term that is materially longer than, those that are customary for publicly traded instruments of their type. A principal purpose may also exist if a large percentage of an issuance of an instrument is placed with one investor or group of investors and a very small percentage of the issuance is traded on a qualified board or exchange. Stock purchase agreements or similar arrangements whose terms are commercially reasonable and in which the parties' obligations to complete the transaction are subject only to reasonable closing obligations. Agreements for holding stock in escrow or under a pledge or other security agreement that are part of a typical commercial transaction and that are subject to customary commercial conditions. Stock appreciation rights, warrants, stock optionsphantom stockor other similar instruments provided to employeesdirectors, or independent contractors in connection with the performance of services for the corporation or a related corporation and that is not excessive by reference to the services performed and which. Options granted in connection with a loan if the lender is actively and regularly engaged in the business of lending and the obligations are issued in connection with a loan to the issuing corporation that is commercially reasonable. This paragraph d 2 vi continues to apply if the option is transferred with the loan or if a portion of the option is transferred with a corresponding portion of the loan. However, if the option is transferred without a corresponding portion of the loan, this paragraph d 2 vi ceases to apply. Options created by the solicitation or receipt of acceptances to a plan of reorganization in a title 11 or similar case within the meaning of section a 3 Athe option created by the confirmation of the planand any option created under the plan prior to the time the plan becomes effective. Convertible preferred stockprovided the terms of the conversion feature do not permit or require the tender of any consideration other than the stock being converted; and. Any other instruments specified by the Internal Revenue Service in regulations, a revenue rulingor revenue procedure. For purposes of this section, the elimination of federal income tax liability includes the elimination or deferral of federal income tax liability. In determining whether there is an elimination of federal income tax liabilitythe tax consequences to all involved parties are considered. Examples of elimination of federal income tax liability include the use of a loss or deduction that would not otherwise be utilized, the acceleration of a loss or deduction to a year earlier than the year in which the loss or deduction would otherwise be utilized, the deferral of gain or income to a year later than the year in which the gain or income would otherwise options reported, and the acceleration of gain or income to a year earlier than the year in which the gain or income would otherwise be reported, if such gain or income is offset by a net operating loss or net capital loss that would otherwise expire unused. The elimination of federal income tax liability does not include the deferral of gain with respect to the stock subject to the option that would be recognized if such stock were sold on a measurement date. The determination of what constitutes a substantial amount of federal income tax liability is based on all the facts and circumstancesincluding the absolute amount of the elimination, the amount of the elimination relative to overall tax liabilityand the timing of items of income and deductionstaking into account present value concepts. The determination of whether, as of a measurement date, an option is reasonably certain to be exercised is based on all the facts and circumstancesincluding:. The purchase price of the option in absolute terms and in relation to the fair market value of the stock or the exercise price of the option. Whether and to what extent the option is in-the-money on the measurement date. If the option is not in-the-money on the measurement date, the amount or percentage by which the exercise price of the option is greater than or in the case of an option to sell stockis less than the fair market value of the underlying stock. Whether the exercise price of the option is fixed or fluctuates depending on the earningsvalueor other indication of economic performance of the issuing corporation. The time at which, or the period of time during which, the option can be exercised. Whether the option is one in a series of related or sequential options. The existence of an arrangement either within the option agreement or in a related agreement that, directly or indirectly, affords managerial or economic rights in the issuing corporation that ordinarily would be afforded to owners of the issuing corporation 's stock e. For this purposemanagerial or economic rights in the issuing corporation possessed because of actual stock ownership in the issuing corporation are not taken into account. The existence of restrictive covenants or similar arrangements either within the option agreement or in a related agreement that, directly or indirectly, prevent or limit the ability of the issuing corporation to undertake certain activities while the option is outstanding e. Whether it was intended that through a change in the capital structure of the issuing corporation or a transfer of assets to or from the issuing corporation other than regular, ordinary dividends or by any other means, the fair market value of the stock of the issuing corporation would be altered for a principal purpose of increasing the likelihood that the option would be exercised; and. Any contingency other than the mere passage of time to which the exercise of the option is subject e. A cash settlement optionphantom stockstock appreciation right, or similar interest is treated as reasonably certain to be exercised if it is reasonably certain that the option will have value at some time during the period in which the option may be exercised. Except as provided in paragraph g 3 iv of this section, an option to acquire stock is not considered reasonably certain, as of a measurement date, to be exercised if. A The option may be exercised no more than 24 months after the measurement date and the exercise price is equal to or greater than 90 percent of the fair market value of the underlying stock on the measurement date; or. B The terms of the option provide that the exercise price of the option is equal to or greater than the fair market value of the underlying stock on the exercise date. Except as provided in paragraph g obligations iv of this section, an option to sell stock is not considered reasonably certain, as of a measurement date, to be exercised if. A The option may be exercised no more than 24 months after the measurement date and the exercise price is equal to or less than percent of the fair market value of the underlying stock on the measurement date; or. B The terms of the option provide that the exercise price of the option is equal to or less than the fair market value of the underlying stock on the exercise date. For purposes of paragraphs g 3 i B and g 3 ii B of this section, an option whose exercise price is determined by a formula is considered to have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock on the exercise date if the formula is agreed upon by the parties when the option is issued in a bona fide attempt to arrive at fair market value on the exercise date and is to be applied based upon the facts in existence on the exercise date. The safe harbors of this paragraph g 3 do not apply if. A An arrangement exists that provides the holder or a related party with stockholder rights described in paragraph g 1 vii of this section except for rights arising upon a default under the option or a related agreement. B It is intended that through a change in the capital structure of the issuing corporation or a transfer of assets to or from the issuing corporation other than regular, ordinary dividends or by any other means, the fair stock value of the stock of the issuing corporation will be altered for a principal purpose of increasing the likelihood that the option will be exercised; or. C The option is one in a series of related or sequential optionsunless all such options satisfy paragraph g 3 i or ii of this section. Failure of an option to satisfy one of the safe harbors of this paragraph g 3 does not affect the determination of whether an option is treated as reasonably certain to be exercised. The provisions of this section may be illustrated by the following examples. These examples assume that the measurement dates set forth in the examples are the only measurement dates that have taken place or will take place. Furthermore, based on the difference between the exercise price of the option and the fair market value of the S stockit is reasonably certain, on June 30,a measurement date, that the option will be exercised. Therefore, the option held by U is treated as exercised. As a resultfor purposes of determining whether P and S are affiliatedP is treated as owning only 60 percent of the value of outstanding shares of S stock and U is treated as owning the remaining 40 percent. P is still treated as owning percent of the voting power. Because members of the P group are no longer treated as owning stock possessing 80 percent of the total value of the S stock as of June 30,S is no longer a member of the P group. Additionally, P is not entitled to a stock dividends received deduction under section a 3 because P and S are also treated as not affiliated for purposes of section P is obligations entitled to an 80 percent dividends received deduction under section c. Therefore, both options are aggregated in determining whether the issuance of the optionsrather than the sale of the S stockwould result in the elimination of a substantial amount of federal income tax liability. Accordingly, as in Example 1, because the continued affiliation of P, Sand T could reasonably be anticipated to result in the elimination of a substantial amount of federal income tax liability and the options are reasonably certain to be exercised, the options are treated as exercised for purposes of determining whether P and S are affiliatedand P and S are no longer affiliated as of July 2, Because the U group files consolidated returnsif P sold the S stock to U, U would be able to use its future losses to offset future income of S. When viewing the transaction from the effect on all parties, the sale of the optionin lieu of the underlying S stockdoes not result in the elimination of federal income tax liability because S's income would be offset by the losses of members of either the P or U group. Accordingly, the option is disregarded and S remains a member of the P group. Therefore, regardless of whether the continued affiliation of P and S would result in the elimination of a substantial amount of federal income tax liabilitythe call option is disregarded in determining whether S remains a member of the P group. Accordingly, all of the facts and circumstances surrounding the sale of the call option must be taken into consideration in determining whether it is reasonably certain that the call option will be exercised. Additionally, it could reasonably be anticipated, on September 30,a measurement date, that the affiliation of X and S would result in the elimination of a substantial amount of federal income tax liability. Accordingly, for purposes of determining whether X and S are affiliatedX is treated as owning only 50 percent of the value of the S stock as of September 30,a measurement date, and S is not a member of the X affiliated group. Accordingly, the option is disregarded in determining whether S is a member of the X group. This section applies, generallyto options with a measurement date on or after February 28, This section does not apply to options issued prior to February 28,which have a measurement date on or after February 28,if the measurement date for the option occurs solely because of an adjustment in the terms of the option stock to the terms of the option as it existed on February 28, Paragraph b 2 iv of this section applies to stock outstanding on or after February 28, This is a list of United States Code sections, Statutes at Large, Public Laws, and Presidential Documents, which provide rulemaking authority for this CFR Part.
