Kruger Inc. was the 51% shareholder of the taxpayer. The taxpayer was associated with Kruger under s. 256(1.2)(c) as the Kruger bloc had more that 50% of the fair market value of all the shares. The 49% bloc might have had a greater value to its current shareholder than that of the 51% bloc to Kruger because of a contingent put right accorded to the minority shareholder under the USA. However, since this put could not be assigned to any third-party purchaser, it did not affect the shares' FMV.
See summary under s. 256(1.2)(c).
