Rulings Given
Provided that the preceding statements constitute a complete and accurate disclosure of all the relevant facts, proposed transactions, additional information and the purpose of the proposed transactions, and provided that the proposed transactions are completed in the manner described above, our rulings are as follows:
Subject to the application of subsection 69(11) of the Act, the provisions of subsection 85(1) of the Act, other than paragraph 85(1)(e.2) thereof, will apply to the transfer of each eligible property from XXXXXXXXXX to XXXXXXXXXX as described in paragraph 11 above, such that the agreed amount in respect of each such property will be deemed to be the proceeds of disposition thereof to XXXXXXXXXX and the cost thereof to XXXXXXXXXX by virtue of paragraph 85(1)(a) of the Act.
For purposes of this ruling, the reference in subparagraph 85(1)(e)(i) of the Act to "...the undepreciated capital cost to the taxpayer of all property of that class immediately before the disposition..." shall be interpreted to mean the portion of the undepreciated capital cost to the taxpayer of all property of that class that the capital cost to the taxpayer of the property of that class transferred is of the capital cost to the taxpayer of all property of that class.
The provisions of subsection 85(1) of the Act, other than paragraph 85(1)(e.2) thereof, will apply to the transfer of each eligible property from XXXXXXXXXX to XXXXXXXXXX as described in paragraph 11 above, such that the agreed amount in respect of each such property will be deemed to be the proceeds of disposition thereof to XXXXXXXXXX and the cost thereof to XXXXXXXXXX by virtue of paragraph 85(1)(a) of the Act.
For purposes of this ruling, the reference in subparagraph 85(l)(e)(i) of the Act to "...the undepreciated capital cost to the taxpayer of all property of that class immediately before the disposition..." shall be interpreted to mean the portion of the undepreciated capital cost to the taxpayer of all property of that class that the capital cost to the taxpayer of the property of that class transferred is of the capital cost to the taxpayer of all property of that class.

The amount of the deemed dividend relating to the redemption of the XXXXXXXXXX Retractible Preferred Shares or the XXXXXXXXXX Retractible Preferred Shares, as the case may be, will be equal to the amount by which the redemption amount paid exceeds the paid-up capital of those shares immediately before the redemption.
By virtue of subsection 84(2) of the Act, XXXXXXXXXX will be deemed to have paid, and each of XXXXXXXXXX will be deemed to have received, a taxable dividend equal to that portion of the aggregate amount by which the amount paid in respect of the purchase for cancellation of the Class "A" common shares of XXXXXXXXXX as described in paragraph 17 above, exceeds the paid-up capital thereof, that the number of Class "A" common shares held by XXXXXXXXXX respectively, is of the number of Class "A" common shares of XXXXXXXXXX so purchased for cancellation.

The provisions of subsection 88(1) of the Act will apply to the wind-ups of XXXXXXXXXX as described in paragraph 18 above.
The settlement of the First XXXXXXXXXX Note, the Second XXXXXXXXXX Note, the First XXXXXXXXXX Note and the Second XXXXXXXXXX Note (herein referred to as the "Notes") on the winding-up of XXXXXXXXXX as described in paragraph 19 above, will not give rise to a "forgiven amount", within the meaning thereof in subsections 80(1) and 80.01(1) of the Act, by virtue of the provisions of subsection 80.01(4) of the Act.
The provisions of subsections 15(1) and 56(2) of the Act will not apply to any of the proposed transactions described in paragraphs 9 through 22 above, in and by themselves.
As a result of the proposed transactions, in and by themselves, subsection 245(2) of the Act will not be applied to redetermine the tax consequences confirmed in the rulings given.
