21.9.3. Where a share of the capital stock of a corporation is issued or its terms or conditions are modified and it may reasonably be considered, having regard to all circumstances, including the rate of interest on any debt or the dividend provided on any term preferred share, that but for the existence of the debt or the term preferred share, the share would not have been issued or its terms or conditions modified, and one of the main purposes for its issue or for the modification of its terms or conditions was to avoid a limitation provided by section 740.1 or 845 in respect of a deduction, the share is deemed, from 1 January 1983, to be a term preferred share of the corporation.
