Post-grant restrictions. This ruling sets forth the tax consequences under section 83 of the Code when restrictions are imposed on substantially vested stock causing that stock to become substantially nonvested. The ruling holds that if the imposition of such restrictions occurs in the absence of an exchange of stock, the substantially nonvested stock is not subject to section 83. However, if the substantially vested stock is exchanged for substantially nonvested stock, the substantially nonvested stock is subject to section 83.

Final regulations under section 954 of the Code contain rules for determining whether a controlled foreign corporation’s (CFC’s) distributive share of partnership income is excluded from foreign personal holding company income under the exception contained in section 954(i) (active insurance exception).
