Dear Sirs:
Re: Fair market value of shares
We are writing in response to your letter of March 8, 1990 in which you requested a technical interpretation as to whether a particular method of determining the fair market value of the shares of a public corporation, issued pursuant to an employee stock option plan, is appropriate.
The determination of the fair market value of such shares is a valuation matter and as such we are unable to comment thereon. You may wish to refer you enquiry to the Business Equity Valuation Section of the Toronto District Office.
Yours truly,
