Transfers of stock or securities by
U.S. persons in tax-free transactions are treated as taxable
transactions when the acquirer is a foreign corporation, unless an
exception applies (section 367(a)). Under the regulations, no U.S.
person will qualify for an exception unless the U.S. target company
complies with certain reporting requirements.
