Tax Opinion The parties shall have received the opinion of Xxxxxx, Xxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, dated the Closing Date, substantially to the effect that, based upon certain facts, assumptions and certain representations made by the Acquired Fund, the Acquiring Fund and their respective authorized officers, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
(a) the Merger as provided in this Agreement will constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code and that the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund will each be a “party to a reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code;
(b) no gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquired Fund in the Merger or upon the conversion of Acquired Fund Common Shares to shares of Acquiring Fund Common Stock as part of the Merger, except for (A) gain or loss that may be recognized on the transfer of “section 1256 contracts” as defined in Section 1256(b) of the Code, (B) gain that may be recognized on the transfer of stock in a “passive foreign investment company” as defined in Section 1297(a) of the Code, and (C) any other gain or loss that may be required to be recognized upon the transfer of an asset of the Acquired Fund pursuant to the Merger regardless of whether such transfer would otherwise be a non-recognition transaction under the Code;
(c) no gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquiring Fund in the Merger or upon the conversion of Acquired Fund Common Shares to shares of Acquiring Fund Common Stock as part of the Merger;
(d) no gain or loss will be recognized by the holders of the Acquired Fund Common Shares upon the conversion of their Acquired Fund Common Shares to shares of Acquiring Fund Common Stock as part of the Merger;
(e) the aggregate tax basis in the hands of the Acquiring Fund of the Acquired Fund assets transferred to the Acquiring Fund in the Merger will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of such assets in the hands of the Acquired Fund immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger, increased by the amount of gain or decreased by the amount of loss, if any, recognized by the Acquired Fund in the Merger;
(f) immediately after the Merger, the aggregate tax basis of the Acquiring Fund Common Stock received by each holder of Acquired Fund Common Shares in the Merger will be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the Acquired Fund Common Shares owned by such stockholder immediately prior to the Merger;
(g) the holding period for Acquiring Fund Common Stock received by each holder of Acquired Fund Common Shares in the Merger will be determined by including the period for which he or she held Acquired Fund Common Shares converted pursuant to the Merger, provided that such shares of Acquired Fund Common Stock were held as capital assets at the time of the Merger;
(h) the Acquiring Fund’s holding period with respect to the Acquired Fund’s assets transferred as part of the Merger, other than assets with respect to which gain or loss is required to be recognized, will include the Acquired Fund’s holding period for assets (except where investment activities of the Acquiring Fund have the effect of reducing or eliminating the holding period with respect to an asset); and
(i) the taxable year of the Acquired Fund will not end as a result of the Merger. The delivery of such opinion is conditioned upon the receipt by Xxxxxx, Xxxxx & Bockius LLP of representations it shall request of the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Acquiring Fund nor the Acquired Fund may waive the condition set forth in this paragraph 5.4.
Federal Tax Opinion FNB shall have received the written opinion of its tax counsel, Xxxx Xxxxx LLP, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to FNB, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that, on the basis of facts, representations and assumptions set forth or referred to in such opinion, the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. In rendering such opinion, counsel may require and rely upon representations contained in Tax Representation Letters executed by officers of HBI and FNB.
Tax Opinions Parent and Company shall each have received written opinions from their respective tax counsel (Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx, Professional Corporation, and Gray, Harris & Xxxxxxxx, P.A., respectively), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to them, to the effect that the Merger will constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and such opinions shall not have been withdrawn. The parties to this Agreement agree to make such reasonable representations as requested by such counsel for the purpose of rendering such opinions.
Section 368 Opinion The Company shall have received a written opinion of Gxxxxxxxx Traurig, LLP (or other counsel to the Company reasonably satisfactory to Parent), dated as of the Closing Date and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that, on the basis of the facts, representations and assumptions set forth or referred to in such opinion, the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. In rendering the opinion described in this Section 7.3(e), counsel shall be entitled to require and rely upon customary representations contained in certificates of officers of the Company and Parent, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company and Parent.
Section 368 Reorganization For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Share Exchange is intended to constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(B) of the Code. The parties to this Agreement hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the United States Treasury Regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that no party is making any representation or warranty as to the qualification of the Share Exchange as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code or as to the effect, if any, that any transaction consummated prior to the Closing Date has or may have on any such reorganization status. The parties acknowledge and agree that each (i) has had the opportunity to obtain independent legal and tax advice with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) is responsible for paying its own Taxes, including without limitation, any adverse Tax consequences that may result if the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is not determined to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368 of the Code.
Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale (i) In case the Issuer after the Original Issue Date shall do any of the following (each, a "Triggering Event"): (a) consolidate or merge with or into any other Person and the Issuer shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and the Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for Securities of any other Person or cash or any other property, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person, or (d) effect a capital reorganization or reclassification of its Capital Stock, then, and in the case of each such Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made so that, upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such Triggering Event, to the extent this Warrant is not exercised prior to such Triggering Event, to receive at the Warrant Price in effect at the time immediately prior to the consummation of such Triggering Event in lieu of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, the Securities, cash and property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon the consummation of such Triggering Event if such Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto (including the right of a shareholder to elect the type of consideration it will receive upon a Triggering Event), subject to adjustments (subsequent to such corporate action) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for elsewhere in this Section 4. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, this Section 4(a)(i) shall only apply if the surviving entity pursuant to any such Triggering Event is a public company that is registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its common stock is listed or quoted on a national exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board. In the event that the surviving entity pursuant to any such Triggering Event is not a public company that is registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or its common stock is not listed or quoted on a national exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board, then the Holder shall have the right to demand that the Issuer pay to the Holder an amount equal to the value of this Warrant according to the Black-Scholes formula.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant to the contrary and so long as the surviving entity pursuant to any Triggering Event is a public company that is registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and its common stock is listed or quoted on a national exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board, a Triggering Event shall not be deemed to have occurred if, prior to the consummation thereof, each Person (other than the Issuer) which may be required to deliver any Securities, cash or property upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder of this Warrant, (A) the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant (and if the Issuer shall survive the consummation of such Triggering Event, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Issuer from, any continuing obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant) and (B) the obligation to deliver to such Holder such Securities, cash or property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this subsection (a), such Holder shall be entitled to receive, and such Person shall have similarly delivered to such Holder an opinion of counsel for such Person, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Holder, or in the alternative, a written acknowledgement executed by the President or Chief Financial Officer of the Issuer, stating that this Warrant shall thereafter continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof (including, without limitation, all of the provisions of this subsection (a)) shall be applicable to the Securities, cash or property which such Person may be required to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any rights pursuant hereto.
