Bargain Sale. Purchaser acknowledges that it is Seller's intent to effectuate a "bargain sale" of the Property, i.e., a sale to a charitable organization at a price below fair market value wherein the difference is considered a charitable contribution under applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code.

Bargain Sale. It may be the Seller’s intent to sell the Property at a “bargain-sale” arrangement and make a charitable contribution equivalent to the difference between the true fair market value of the Property, as determined by a qualified appraiser, and the agreed upon purchase price stated in this Option. The Conservancy makes no representation or warranty that this transaction will qualify as a “bargain sale” under state or federal law. Sellers agree that the cost of any appraisal update is their responsibility and that Seller shall not be entitled to any future adjustments to the Purchase Price on the basis of any appraisal update.
Bargain Sale. Selling a conservation easement at a discounted price "a bargain sale" can also be an income tax incentive to the seller.

Bargain Sale. The Foundation will enter into a bargain sale arrangement in instances in which the bargain sale furthers the mission and purposes of the Foundation. All bargain sales must be reviewed and recommended by the Investment Committee and approved by the Board of Directors. Factors used in determining the appropriateness of the transaction include: • The Foundation must obtain an independent appraisal substantiating the value of the property; • If the Foundation assumes debt with the property, the debt ratio must be less than 50% of the appraised market value; • The Foundation must determine that it will use the property, or that there is a market for sale of the property, allowing sale within 12 months of receipt; • The Foundation must calculate the costs to safeguard, insure, and expense the property (including property tax, if applicable) during the holding period. Business Interests Donors may make gifts of interests in business entities (i.e., closely held marketable securities, limited partnership interests, interests in limited liability companies). These can be accepted if the Foundation assumes no liability in receiving them. In evaluating a proposed gift of such assets, the Gift Acceptance Committee may consider: • the probability of conversion to a liquid asset within a reasonable period of time; • the projected income that will be available for distribution and administrative fees; • the nature of the business from which the asset is derived. A completed IRS Form 8283 (“Noncash Charitable Contributions”) and/or a letter from the attorney drafting the partnership agreement or articles of organization must accompany gifts of limited partnership interests or interests in limited liability companies, providing the following information: • Independent appraisal of the value of the subject entity and a statement of the percentage of the entity to be gifted to the Foundation; • Assurance that the Foundation will be held harmless in the event the entity becomes bankrupt or is otherwise unable to satisfy its obligations; • Assurance that the Foundation will be held harmless in the event the entity is sued. The Foundation does not accept gifts of general partnership interests due to potential unlimited liability. When an interest in a business entity cannot be promptly liquidated, and the documented present value of the interest is $20,000 or more, that interest may be credited to a new, named component fund at CFMC. The fund may be treated as an advised, desi...
Bargain Sale. Buyer is an organization described in Sections 501(c)(3) and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) of the Internal Revenue Code; therefore, Seller may be entitled to consider the amount by which the fair market value of the Property exceeds the sale price for the Property as a charitable contribution of property to the extent permitted by law, but Buyer shall have no responsibility or liability for the determination of the amount or availability of any income tax deduction which Seller may claim. The Conservancy has provided Seller with a summary of its internal policy regarding gifts of interests in real estate and will sign documentation required by the IRS to substantiate a charitable contribution when the conditions stated in the policy are met. .
Bargain Sale. The Transaction is a bargain sale where the Seller is selling the Property to the Buyer for less than the Property’s fair market value (the difference between the Purchase Price and the Property’s fair market value, the “Gift”). The Gift will be a charitable donation from the Seller to the Buyer. The Seller may obtain and pay for an appraisal to determine the Gift and take the other steps under the Internal Revenue Code to claim the benefit of any tax deduction the Gift may generate for the Seller. Any such appraisal is for the Seller’s own benefit and use and it has no obligation to share it with the Buyer. The Buyer will obtain its own appraisal of the Property (the “Buyer Appraisal”). The Buyer Appraisal is for the Buyer’s internal purposes and is inapplicable in determining the Gift unless the Seller wants to use it for that purpose, which it may do in its discretion. The Buyer will ensure that its agreement with its appraiser does not preclude the Buyer from sharing the Buyer Appraisal with the Seller. If the Seller wants to use the Buyer Appraisal for purposes of determining the Gift, the Buyer will cooperate with the Seller in attempting to obtain the appraiser’s consent for the Seller to use the Buyer Appraisal for that purpose. In the event the Seller wishes to obtain its appraisal after Closing, the Buyer will reasonably cooperate with the Seller and the Seller’s third party appraiser to permit such appraisal to be completed.
Bargain Sale. Seller and City acknowledge that the present fair market value of the City Premises is One Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,700,000.00), based upon the appraisal referenced in Exhibit E attached hereto (the "Appraisal"). Seller and City further acknowledge that it is their intent to effectuate a "bargain sale" of the City Premises to the City, i.e., a sale to a municipality at a price below fair market value wherein the difference is considered a charitable contribution for the Seller under applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code. City and Seller acknowledge that the substantiation of a charitable contribution deduction rests exclusively with Seller but for City's execution of Internal Revenue Service Form 8283. City agrees to execute, at Closing, or thereafter as requested by Seller, an Internal Revenue Service Form 8283 and/or any other applicable Federal or State tax form, to substantiate the Seller's charitable deduction based upon the above-stipulated fair market value for the City Premises. Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold the City harmless from and against any and all tax, or other, liability which the City may incur solely by reason of any final, non-appealable determination by the Internal Revenue Service that such Internal Revenue Service Form 8283 contained any false statement by Seller.
