965.107. For the purposes of this Title, “qualified issuing corporation” does not include a corporation whose shares of a class of its capital stock are, in the period beginning on the first day of the fifth calendar year preceding the calendar year in which it is granted a receipt for a final prospectus or an exemption from filing a prospectus in respect of a share issue and ending at the time the receipt or exemption is granted, the subject of a particular transaction consisting of a transaction or operation or of a series of transactions or operations if, in the opinion of the Minister, it is reasonable to believe that the particular transaction is equivalent to the redemption of a share of a class of its capital stock other than a share described in section 965.108.
The first paragraph applies during the period referred to in the first paragraph until the corporation has, in respect of each particular transaction and for an amount determined in section 965.109, made an issue of shares of its capital stock that meet the requirement of paragraph b of section 965.74 and are not qualifying shares or until shares of the capital stock of the corporation have been the subject, in respect of each particular transaction, of a transaction or operation or of a series of transactions or operations, for an amount determined in section 965.109, if, in the opinion of the Minister, it is reasonable to believe that the transaction or operation or the series of transactions or operations is equivalent to the issue of shares of the capital stock of the corporation that meet the requirement of that paragraph b.
The Minister may exercise the power provided for in the first paragraph, in particular, when shares of the capital stock of a corporation that are not described in section 965.108 are acquired by a person related to the corporation.
