These SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:17 Jun 04, 2015 Jkt 235001 regulations affect corporations whose stock is or was acquired by the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) pursuant to certain programs under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA). DATES: Effective Date: These regulations are effective on June 5, 2015. Applicability Date: For dates of applicability, see § 1.382–3(j)(17). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stephen R. Cleary, (202) 317–5353 (not a toll-free number). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 382 Section 382 of the Code provides that the taxable income of a loss corporation for a year following an ownership change may be offset by pre-change losses only to the extent of the section 382 limitation for such year. An ownership change occurs with respect to a corporation if it is a loss corporation on a testing date and, immediately after the close of the testing date, the percentage of stock of the corporation owned by one or more 5-percent shareholders has increased by more than 50 percentage points over the lowest percentage of stock of such corporation owned by such shareholders at any time during the testing period. A testing date is any date on which occurs any change in the ownership of loss corporation stock that affects the percentage of stock owned by any 5-percent shareholder (owner shift). Pursuant to section 382(g)(4)(A), shareholders who own less than five percent of a loss corporation are aggregated and treated as a single 5percent shareholder (a public group). In addition, new public groups may be created as a result of certain transactions under the segregation rules in the section 382 regulations. Any new public group is tracked separately from, and in addition to, the public group or groups that existed previously and is treated as a new 5-percent shareholder that increases its ownership interest in the loss corporation. One particular segregation rule, which was imposed by § 1.382–2T(j)(3)(i) of the Temporary Income Tax Regulations until it was superseded, required segregation when an individual or entity that owned five percent or more of the loss corporation transferred an interest in the loss corporation to public shareholders. After the sale, stock owned by a public group that existed immediately before the sale was treated separately from the stock owned by the public group that acquired stock from PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 the seller. This separate public group was treated as a new 5-percent shareholder. However, this rule was rendered inoperative by § 1.382–3(j)(13), part of a set of regulations published in TD 9638 [78 FR 62418] on October 22, 2013. Under the new regulation, no new public group is created on the transfer of stock to the public shareholders; instead, the transferred stock is treated as acquired proportionately by the public groups existing at the time of the transfer. Notice 2010–2 (2010–2 IRB 251 (December 16, 2009)) (see § 601.601(d)(2)(ii)(b) of this chapter) provides guidance regarding the application of section 382 and other provisions of law to corporations whose instruments are acquired and disposed of by the Treasury pursuant to EESA. Notice 2010–2 relates to instruments acquired by Treasury pursuant to the following EESA programs: (i) The Capital Purchase Program for publiclytraded issuers; (ii) the Capital Purchase Program for private issuers; (iii) the Capital Purchase Program for S corporations; (iv) the Targeted Investment Program; (v) the Asset Guarantee Program; (vi) the Systemically Significant Failing Institutions Program; (vii) the Automotive Industry Financing Program; and (viii) the Capital Assistance Program for publicly-traded issuers. (These programs are collectively referred to as ‘‘Programs’’ in that Notice and in this preamble.) Under Section III(G) of Notice 2010– 2, a ‘‘Covered Instrument’’ is an instrument that is acquired by Treasury in exchange for an instrument that was issued to Treasury under the Programs, or is acquired by Treasury in exchange for another Covered Instrument. For most purposes of that Notice, a Covered Instrument is treated as though it had been issued directly to Treasury under the Programs. Section III(E) of Notice 2010–2 provides the following rule to govern the sale by Treasury of stock of a corporation to public shareholders: Section 382 treatment of stock sold by Treasury to public shareholders. If Treasury sells stock that was issued to it pursuant to the Programs (either directly or upon the exercise of a warrant) and the sale creates a public group (‘‘New Public Group’’), the New Public Group’s ownership in the issuing corporation shall not be considered to have increased solely as a result of such a sale. A New Public Group’s ownership shall be treated as having increased to the extent the New Public Group increases its ownership pursuant to any transaction other than a sale of stock by Treasury, including pursuant to a stock issuance described in § 1.382–3(j)(2) or a redemption (see § 1.382–2T(j)(2)(iii)(C)).
