Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Information reporting generally will apply to payments to a stockholder pursuant to the Offer or the Merger, unless such stockholder is an entity that is exempt from information reporting and, when required, properly demonstrates its eligibility for exemption. Any payment to a U.S. Holder that is subject to information reporting generally will also be subject to backup withholding, unless such U.S. Holder provides the appropriate documentation (generally, IRS Form W-9) to the applicable withholding agent certifying that, among other things, its taxpayer identification number is correct, or otherwise establishes an exemption. The information reporting and backup withholding rules that apply to payments to a stockholder pursuant to the Offer and Merger generally will not apply to payments to a Non-U.S. Holder if such Non-U.S. Holder certifies under penalties of perjury that it is not a U.S. person (generally by providing an IRS Form W-8BEN Table of Contents or W-8BEN-E or other applicable IRS Form W-8) or otherwise establishes an exemption. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors to determine which IRS Form W-8 is appropriate. Certain stockholders (including corporations) generally are not subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules generally will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability if the required information is properly and timely furnished by such U.S. Holder to the IRS. THE FOREGOING SUMMARY DOES NOT DISCUSS ALL ASPECTS OF UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION THAT MAY BE RELEVANT TO PARTICULAR STOCKHOLDERS. YOU ARE URGED TO CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU OF THE OFFER OR THE MERGER IN LIGHT OF YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING THE APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF ANY FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, NON-UNITED STATES, OR OTHER LAWS.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Payments made to stockholders of the Company in the Offer or the Merger generally will be subject to information reporting and may be subject to backup withholding (currently at a rate of 28%). To avoid backup withholding and potential penalties, any U.S. stockholder that does not otherwise establish an exemption should complete and return the IRS Form W-9 included in the Letter of Transmittal, listing such U.S. stockholder’s correct taxpayer identification number and certifying that such stockholder is a U.S. person, the taxpayer identification number provided is correct, and that such stockholder is not subject to backup withholding. Any foreign stockholder should submit an IRS Form W-8BEN (or other applicable IRS Form W-8) attesting to such stockholder’s exempt foreign status in order to qualify for an exemption from information reporting and backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund from the IRS or a credit against a stockholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Payments made to non-U.S. holders in the Offer and the Merger may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding (currently at a rate of 24%). Non-U.S. holders can avoid backup withholding by providing the Depositary with a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable IRS Form W-8) certifying the holder's non-U.S. status or by otherwise establishing an exemption from backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax and may be refunded or credited against the applicable holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided that such holder timely furnishes the required information to the IRS.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Payments made to stockholders of DICE in the Offer or the Merger generally will be subject to information reporting and may be subject to backup withholding of U.S. federal income tax on payments for Shares made in the Offer or the Merger (currently at a rate of 24%). To avoid backup withholding, any stockholder that is a U.S. person that does not otherwise establish an exemption from U.S. federal backup withholding should complete and return the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 included in the Letter of Transmittal, certifying that such stockholder is a U.S. person, that the taxpayer identification number provided is correct, and that such stockholder is not subject to backup withholding. Any stockholder that is not a U.S. person should submit an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or other applicable IRS Form W-8) attesting to such stockholder’s exempt foreign status in order to qualify for an exemption from information reporting and backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund from the IRS or a credit against a stockholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS. If backup withholding applies and results in an overpayment of tax, a refund can generally be obtained by the stockholder timely filing a U.S. federal income tax return.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Payments of proceeds from the Distribution to a stockholder may be subject to information reporting to the IRS and, possibly, U.S. federal backup withholding. Backup withholding will not apply if the stockholder furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number (certified on the IRS Form W-9) or otherwise establishes that it is exempt from backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against the stockholder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. The stockholder may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information. Since any backup withholding required in connection with the distribution of Group stock would in effect be a cash obligation imposed on LS (since no withholdable cash is being distributed), LS does not intend to distribute Group stock to any stockholder who has not provided LS with a Form W-9 or otherwise established an exemption from backup withholding.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Payments made to a noncorporate United States Holder in connection with the Offer or the Merger generally will be subject to information reporting and may be subject to “backup withholding.” Backup withholding generally applies if a United States Holder (i) fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number or (ii) in certain circumstances, fails to comply with applicable certification requirements. A Non-United States Holder generally will be exempt from information reporting and backup withholding if it certifies on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E that it is not a U.S. person, or otherwise establishes an exemption in a manner satisfactory to the Depositary. Backup withholding is not an additional tax and may be refunded by the Internal Revenue Service to the extent it results in an overpayment of tax. Certain persons generally are entitled to exemption from information reporting and backup withholding, including corporations. Certain penalties apply for failure to provide correct information and for failure to include reportable payments in income. Each holder should consult with his or her own tax advisor as to his or her qualification for exemption from backup withholding and the procedure for obtaining such exemption. Tendering United States Holders may be able to prevent backup withholding by completing the IRS Form W-9 that is included in the Letter of Transmittal or, in the case of Non-United States Holders, an IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or other applicable IRS Form W-8.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. We must generally report annually to the Internal Revenue Service and to each non-U.S. holder the amount of dividends paid to such holder, if any, and the tax withheld with respect to such dividends, regardless of whether withholding was required. Copies of the information returns reporting such dividends and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the non-U.S. holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty. A non-U.S. holder may be subject to backup withholding for dividends paid to such holder unless such holder certifies under penalty of perjury that it is a non-U.S. holder (generally, by furnishing a valid Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-8EXP, or other applicable Internal Revenue Service Form) or such holder otherwise establishes an exemption and we do not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such holder is a U.S. person as defined under the Code. Information reporting and, depending on the circumstances, backup withholding will apply to the proceeds of a sale of our common stock within the United States or conducted through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries, unless we receive the certification described above or such holder otherwise establishes an exemption and we do not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such holder is a U.S. person as defined under the Code. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a non-U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Information reporting requirements generally will apply to payments of the Offer Price or the Merger Consideration, as applicable, unless the recipient is an exempt recipient such as a corporation. In addition, backup withholding at the applicable rate (currently 28%) will apply to the payments if a U.S. Holder fails to provide its taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) and otherwise comply with the applicable requirements of the U.S. backup withholding rules. In order to prevent U.S. federal income tax backup withholding with respect to payments, a U.S. holder must provide the Depositary with such holder’s correct TIN and certify that such holder is not subject to backup withholding by completing the IRS Form W-9 in the Letter of Transmittal. Certain holders (including, among others, all corporations and certain foreign individuals and entities) may not be subject to backup withholding. If a holder does not provide its correct TIN or fails to provide the certifications described above, the IRS may impose a penalty on the holder, and payments to the holder pursuant to the Offer or the Merger, as applicable, may be subject to backup withholding. All U.S. holders should complete and sign the IRS Form W-9 included in the Letter of Transmittal to provide the information necessary to avoid backup withholding. Foreign shareholders should complete and sign the appropriate Form W-8 (a copy of which may be obtained from the Depositary or the Information Agent) in order to avoid backup withholding. Such shareholders should consult a tax advisor to determine which Form W-8 is appropriate. See Instruction 9 of the Letter of Transmittal. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. holder’s United States federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
