A partnership — AMH -- borrowed money and distributed the funds, giving rise to negative capital (and no current income tax). I thought that you were suggesting that AMH, the borrower, have its debt assumed or transferred. The lender is not making any transfer, as is the case in your most recent email. Again, Rick may have a view. Alan S.

Perhaps one would take a fraction of the taxable income for the year. The numerator would be the number of days held by the charity and the denominator would be 365. But we would need to investigate further. Under current TRA, Tufts gain gives rise to TRA rights only if the gain is triggered in connection with an exchange. Here, the Tufts gain would be triggered by the contribution to the DAF. Accordingly, under the current TRA, the resulting gain caused by the contribution would not give rise to any TRA payment. I don't know about the "transfer" of the loan to another company. I suspect that any such assumption by another party would give rise to gain at that time. I have copied Rick to get his reaction.

On Wed, Feb 24, 2016 at 12:39 PM, Halperin, Alan S < wrote: Is the tufts gain a per unit calculation? I suspect that the answer is yes. The "Tufts gain" results from a constructive distribution that is attributable to a reduction in share of liabilities, The share of liabilities is proportional (based on units), so a reduction in share of liabilities that results from disposing of a number of units should be proportional to the number of units disposed of. If the debt is are guaranteed, does the contribution still trigger gain? The purpose of the guarantee would be to avoid a reduction in share of liabilities, so if it were done, it would presumably avoid triggering any Tufts gain. Remember that the guarantee is a viable strategy to defer gain only if all three founders participate in the guarantee and that the guarantee involves some economic risk. What is the tax on ubti? For example if they donated this week and the charity promptly sold the shares, is the UBTI limited to income during the time it was held? The UBTI on which the charity owes tax is limited to the income during the period that the charity owns the AOG units (and until the charity completes the exchange with the public company). Note that the donor advised fund may not accept property which generates UBTI. Alan S.

On Tue, Feb 23, 2016 at 9:20 PM, Halperin, Alan S < wrote: Jeffrey, please let me respond to your questions. Under the current documents, the principals cannot contribute the underlying AOG units to a donor advised fund. Assuming the relevant documents are modified to permit such a contribution, there is nothing inherit in the laws that govern donor advised funds which would prohibit such a contribution. However, such a contribution would trigger the 2 EFTA_R1_01364223 EFTA02366873 Tufts gain. Further, the donor advised fund would have taxable income, as the AOG units will give rise to UBTI. Under the current TRA, the Tufts gain, unless part of a fully taxable exchange, will not trigger any TRA payments. Exchanges, as distinct from subsequent sales of the shares received in an exchange, are limited by various agreements, including the Agreement Among Principals and the Shareholders Agreement. Sales of shares, in turn, are limited by Rule 144. However, Rule 144 would not apply to shares sold by a donor advised fund. Exchanges by Leon or BFP are reported on Form 4. Assuming charity is not an affiliate of Leon or AGM, there is no Exchange Act reporting applicable to an exchange by the charity. However, in the event that the charity owns 5% or more of the Class A shares, then there may be other reporting requirements (such as under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act). Alan Alan S.
