Final regulations under section 368 of the Code amend regulations section 1.368-2(k) to clarify that, where the post-reorganization transfer(s) consists of one or more transfers to the former shareholders of the acquired corporation (other than a former shareholder that is also the acquiring corporation) and the transfer constitutes the receipt by such shareholders of additional consideration for their proprietary interests in the acquired corporation, the transaction as a whole is not afforded protection from application of the step transaction doctrine under section 1.368-2(k).
