This CLE/CPE webinar will provide an in-depth analysis of key tax considerations for Up-C structures and transactions involving Up-Cs. The panel will discuss legal and tax challenges unique to Up-C structures, terminating or amending the tax receivable agreements, rolling over existing equity interests in a tax-deferred transaction, withholding tax considerations, calculating gain, and other tax considerations.

Description

Many business that are structured as pass-through entities for federal income tax purposes and that wish to complete an IPO frequently use umbrella partnership C corporation structures (Up-Cs). In an Up-C, the partnership undertakes a public offering through a newly formed corporation as a holding company that owns an interest in the pass-through entity. This allows the pass-through entity to launch a public offering without disrupting the tax status of the pass-through entity, where the principal assets and operations remain.

The Up-C structure allows members of pass-through entities to achieve liquidity through rights to exchange partnership equity for publicly traded equity. These members also may monetize valuable tax attributes arising from such exchanges pursuant to a “tax receivable agreement.”

Listen as our panel discusses tax considerations for Up-C structures and methods to ensure flow-through treatment and tax deferral, as well as addresses tax issues for the tax agreements.
