"Although these recent developments create great opportunities, they also bring with them numerous problems for both acquiring companies and targets," notes Robert Ross, Program Director at Bloomberg BNA | Cite. "This conference will provide step-by-step explanations of the strategies and techniques used to reach tax-efficient, practical solutions."

Attendees will examine consolidated return issues, and understand key tax issues in dealing with contingent liabilities, deductibility of acquired corporate tax losses, and M&A issues involving partnerships, LLCs and Hybrids.

Strategies for making a Sec. 338 (h) (10) election will also be discussed, and questions—including when can a stock purchase be treated like an asset purchase, what are the benefits of electing asset sale treatment, and what should buyers and sellers take under consideration when doing a transaction—will be answered.
