general.&nbsp;&nbsp;A change in the ownership of a corporation occurs on the
date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires
ownership of stock of the corporation that, together with stock held by such
person or group, constitutes more than 50 percent of the total fair market
value or total voting power of the stock of such corporation.&#160; However, if any one person, or more than one
person acting as a group, is considered to own more than 50 percent of the
total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of a corporation,
the acquisition of additional stock by the same person or persons is not
considered to cause a change in the ownership of the corporation (or to cause a
change in the effective control of the corporation).&#160;&#160;&#160; An increase in the percentage of stock
owned by any one person, or persons acting as a group, as a result of a
transaction in which the corporation acquires its stock in exchange for
property will be treated as an acquisition of stock.&#160; This applies only when there is a transfer of
stock of a corporation (or issuance of stock of a corporation) and stock in
such corporation remains outstanding after the transaction.</font></p>

as a group.&nbsp;&nbsp;Persons will not be considered to be acting as a group
solely because they purchase or own stock of the same corporation at the same
time, or as a result of the same public offering.&#160; However, persons will be considered to be acting
as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger,
consolidation, purchase, or acquisition of stock, or similar business
transaction with the corporation.&#160; If a
person, including an entity, owns stock in both corporations that enter into a
merger, consolidation, purchase, or acquisition of stock, or similar
transaction, such shareholder is considered to be acting as a group with other
shareholders in a corporation prior to the transaction giving rise to the
change and not with respect to the ownership interest in the other corporation.</font></p>

corporation&#146;s board of directors prior to the election, provided that for
purposes of this paragraph&#160; the term
corporation refers solely to the relevant corporation for which no other
corporation is a majority shareholder for purposes of that paragraph (for
example, if Corporation A is a publicly held corporation with no majority
shareholder, and Corporation A is the majority shareholder of Corporation B,
