Oxen Corp. has 1,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Cherith owns 400 of these shares and Marshall owns 600. Marshall’s total basis in his 600 shares is $40,000. Oxen has $500,000 of accumulated E&P as of the beginning of the year, and Oxen is profitable this year. Assume that Oxen redeems 210 shares of Marshall’s stock during the year for $80,000. Marshall seeks to determine if the redemption qualifies for sale treatment as a disproportionate redemption under Section 302(b)(2). Would Marshall pass the 50% test under Section 302(b)(2)? a. yes. b. no.

Expert Solution

Marshall passes the 50% test under Sec 302(b)(2) as he is holding 49.367% which is less than 50%.

But it is not a disproportionate redemption under sec 302(b)(2), because the first condition of holding less than than 80% of previous holding is not satisfied, which means that he is holding 49.367% after redemption of stock, which is more than 80% of previous holding ( i.e, 60*80% = 48%). So this condition has failed to satisfy and hence it is not a disproportionate redemption.
