Bondholders not group triggering parachute
Article Abstract:
Ltr. Rul. 9442010 stated that the absence of collective action among bondholders to acquire majority of a subsidiary means that there was no change in control of the company for excess parachute payment purposes. After a regulatory restructuring of the company, the bondholders became holders of over half of the company and over 20% of the voting power in less than a year, and a large part of the directoral board was taken over by directors who did not receive approval from the original board. Although these satisfy the conditions set in Prop. Reg. 1.280G-1, Q&A-27 and Q&A-28, the IRS ruled that there is no change of control for purposes of parachute payment for two reasons. The first justification is that the bondholders did not act as a group in the gaining control of the corporation. The second basis is that the takeover of new directors came at a time when there were unrelated resignations.
