517.5.11. A series of transactions that includes the disposition by an individual of eligible shares of a corporation (in this section referred to as the “particular corporation”) may be considered to be an eligible business transfer of the individual only if, in the period that begins immediately after the disposition of the shares and ends at the end of that series of transactions, at least one person (other than the individual) who holds, directly or indirectly, shares of the purchaser corporation, or the person’s spouse, is actively engaged in a business carried on by the particular corporation or by a corporation in which the particular corporation had, immediately before the disposition of those shares, a substantial interest.
The first paragraph does not apply in respect of a period in which a person referred to in that paragraph who was to be actively engaged in a business is unable to be so actively engaged due to an illness, a disability or the person’s death if the illness, disability or death begins or occurs after the disposition of the shares of the particular corporation.
