Subject: foreign JV question
Dear Mike,
I am examining atransaction in which two foreign entities will contribute ongoing businesses toa newly formed joint venture (to be formed as a corporation), also foreign.After the businesses are contributed, the new joint venture will not have USrevenues or US assets greater than $53.1 million. However, one of the parententities does have US revenues above $53.1 million.
It seems to methat since the acquired entity here (the JV) does not meet the threshold under802.51, no filing would be required. Can you confirm?
