3. November 2005Presentation to Pegasus Corp. 2 GREENBERG TRAURIG, LLP | ATTORNEYS AT LAW | WWW.GTLAW.COM Overview of the FATCA “QI-2” Rules Beginning in 2013, if a “foreign financial institution” (FFI) does not comply with due diligence and reporting rules prescribed by FATCA (a “non-Participating FFI”), then all withholdable payments made to the FFI are subject to 30% withholding, whether paid to the FFI for its own account or for its clients The withholding rate can be lowered by a tax treaty. This provision is intended to ensure that legislation does not violate existing US tax treaties. Withholdable payments include US-source FDAP payments & 30% of all US-source gross proceeds from property that can produce interest, dividends & equivalents (such as equity swap payments). Amounts withheld can be claimed as a refund (including treaty-based refunds) only if information is provided establishing the owner(s) of the payment and the owners of any entity receiving the payment.

4. November 2005Presentation to Pegasus Corp. 3 GREENBERG TRAURIG, LLP | ATTORNEYS AT LAW | WWW.GTLAW.COM Will My Off-Shore Bank Comply with FATCA? Yes. And here is why: If the FFI receives any item of US-source income directly and invests in US stocks and bonds, it does not have any real choice. If it chooses not to comply, it will be subject to non-recoverable withholding taxes. Even if the FFI does not receive withholdable payments directly, if it invests with a Participating FFI and the Participating FFI has any US assets, under the passthru payment rules (described later), a portion of the payments to the Non-Participating FFI will be subject to US tax withholding. Notice 2011-34 provides an exception for non-US banks that only serve markets within their country of organization (local banks), but in order to take advantage of this exception the local bank must adopt procedures to ensure that it does not open or maintain accounts from non-residents of its country of organization.

5. November 2005Presentation to Pegasus Corp. 4 GREENBERG TRAURIG, LLP | ATTORNEYS AT LAW | WWW.GTLAW.COM To avoid withholding, the FFI must agree to:  Obtain information from its ‘accounts’ to determine if such accounts are US accounts (other than public companies, US gov’t, banks, RICs & tax-exempts)  Comply with IRS-specified due diligence & verification requirements  Report information on US accounts annually  Withhold 30% on payments to pass-thru entities, recalcitrant accounts and other FFIs that have not entered into an IRS agreement (unless withholding was made against payment to FFI).  Comply with IRS requests for additional information on US accounts  Obtain a waiver of a foreign law that would prevent disclosure to the IRS If an entity has entered into a FFI Agreement, then its affiliates must also comply.

13. November 2005Presentation to Pegasus Corp. 12 GREENBERG TRAURIG, LLP | ATTORNEYS AT LAW | WWW.GTLAW.COM How do the Passthru Payment Rules Work? Code § 1471(d)(7) provides that passthru payments include a “payment attributable to a withholdable payment.” Passthru payments are subject to withholding in the same way that withholdable payments are subject to withholding. Notice 2011-34 uses an average US asset concept to determine whether a payment made by a Participating FFI is a passthru payment. (A Participating FFI is an FFI that has elected to comply with FATCA.) For example, assume 35% of French Bank’s assets are invested in US assets (as determined under the FATCA) rules. If this is the case, then 35% of each payment made by the French bank will be treated as a passthru payment, potentially subject to US tax withholding.

14. November 2005Presentation to Pegasus Corp. 13 GREENBERG TRAURIG, LLP | ATTORNEYS AT LAW | WWW.GTLAW.COM Illustration of the Passthru Payment Rules Family office maintains an account at French Bank and French Bank’s passthru payment percentage is 35%. French Bank is a Participating FFI. Family office purchases a structured note from the French Bank. The structured note references gold or some other commodity. The Family office has some indicia of US ownership but does not provide information establishing that it is not a US account in a timely manner. The French Bank must withhold 10.5% (35% x 30%) of the income payment on the structured note. If the Family office had acquired the same structured note from a US bank, there would not have been any need for due diligence and NO WITHHOLDING.
