PUBLIC LAW 94-000—MMMM. DD, 1975

PUBLIC LAW 94-12—MAR. 29, 1975 Notwithstanding the first sentence of this paragraph, the allocation to participants' accounts may be extended over whatever period may be necessary to comply with the requirements of section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954. (4) The plan must provide that each participant has a nonforfeitable right to any stock allocated to his account under paragraph (3), and that no stock allocated to a participant's account may be distributed from that account before the end of the eightyfourth month beginning after the month in which the stock is allocated to the account except in the case of separation from the service, death, or disability. (5) The plan must provide that each participant is entitled to direct the plan as to the manner in which any employer securities allocated to the account of the participant are to be voted. (6) On making a claim for credit, adjustment, or refund under section 38 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, the employer states in such claim that it agrees, as a condition of receiving any such credit, adjustment, or refund, to transfer employer securities forthwith to the plan having an aggregate value at the time of the claim of 1 percent of the amount of the qualified investment (as determined under section 46(c) and (d) of such Code) of the taxpayer for the taxable year. For purposes of meeting the requirements of this paragraph, a transfer of cash shall be treated as a transfer of employer securities if the cash is, under the plan, used to purchase employer securities. (7) Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, if the plan does not meet the requirements of section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954— (A) stock transferred under paragraph (6) and allocated to the account of any participant under paragraph (3) and dividends thereon shall not be considered income of the participant or his beneficiary under the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 until actually distributed or made available to the participant or his beneficiary and, at such time, shall be taxable under section 72 of such Code (treating the participant or his beneficiary as having a basis of zero in the contract), (B) no amount shall be allocated to any participant in excess of the amount which might be allocated if the plan met the requirements of section 401 of such Code, and (C) the plan must meet the requirements of sections 410 and 415 of such Code. (8) If the amount of the credit determined under section 46(a) (1)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, is recaptured in accordance with the provisions of such Code, the amounts transferred to the plan under this subsection and allocated under the plan shall remain in the plan or in participant accounts, as the case may be and continue to be allocated in accordance with the original plan agreement. (9) For purposes of this subsection, the term— (A) "employer securities" means common stock issued by the employer or a corporation which is in control of the employer (within the meaning of section 368(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954) with voting power and dividend rights no less favorable than the voting power and dividend rights of other common stock issued by the employer or such controlling corporation, or securities issued by the employer or such controlling corporation, convertible into such stock, and
