lated investment companies in exchange solely
365
HR 3448 EAS
for stock in the company or companies to which

vestment company in a transfer referred to in
paragraph (1)(A) shall be the same as it would
be in the hands of the common trust fund.

preceding sentence shall be allocated among the
366
HR 3448 EAS
stock in each such company on the basis of re-
spective fair market values.

TREATMENT
OF
ASSUMPTIONS
OF
LIABILITY.—
‘‘(A) IN GENERAL.—In determining whether
the transfer referred to in paragraph (1)(A) is in
exchange solely for stock in one or more regu-
lated investment companies, the assumption by
any such company of a liability of the common
trust fund, and the fact that any property trans-
ferred by the common trust fund is subject to a
liability, shall be disregarded.
‘‘(B) SPECIAL
RULE
WHERE
ASSUMED
LIABILITIES EXCEED BASIS.—
‘‘(i) IN GENERAL.—If, in any transfer
referred to in paragraph (1)(A), the as-
sumed liabilities exceed the aggregate ad-
justed bases (in the hands of the common
trust fund) of the assets transferred to the
regulated 
investment 
company 
or
companies—
‘‘(I) notwithstanding paragraph
(1), gain shall be recognized to the
common trust fund on such transfer in
an amount equal to such excess,
367
HR 3448 EAS
‘‘(II) the basis of the assets re-
ceived by the regulated investment
company or companies in such trans-
fer shall be increased by the amount so
recognized, and
‘‘(III) any adjustment to the basis
of a participant’s interest in the com-
mon trust fund as a result of the gain
so recognized shall be treated as occur-
ring immediately before the exchange
referred to in paragraph (1)(B).
If the transfer referred to in paragraph
(1)(A) is to two or more regulated invest-
ment companies, the basis increase under
subclause (II) shall be allocated among such
companies on the basis of the respective fair
market values of the assets received by each
of such companies.
‘‘(ii) ASSUMED LIABILITIES.—For pur-
poses of clause (i), the term ‘assumed liabil-
ities’ means the aggregate of—
‘‘(I) any liability of the common
trust fund assumed by any regulated
investment company in connection
368
HR 3448 EAS
with the transfer referred to in para-
graph (1)(A), and
‘‘(II) any liability to which prop-
erty so transferred is subject.
‘‘(4) COMMON TRUST FUND MUST MEET DIVER-
SIFICATION RULES.—This subsection shall not apply
to any common trust fund which would not meet the
requirements of section 368(a)(2)(F)(ii) if it were a
corporation. For purposes of the preceding sentence,

ties of an issuer in applying the 25-percent and 50-
