stock in a
corporation before
September 19, 1986 (
January 1, 1989, in the case of an offering for the benefit of an institution described in the preceding sentence), shall not be treated as acquiring any
stock of such

Unless the
taxpayer elects not to have the provisions of this paragraph apply, in the case of a
reorganization described in subparagraph (G) of section 368(a)(1) of the

stock in a title 11 or similar case, as defined in section 368(a)(3) of such Code, the amendments made by subsections (a), (b), and (c) shall not apply to any ownership change resulting from such a

January 1, 1987, and ending on the final settlement of any
reorganization or proceeding described in the preceding sentence shall be redetermined as of the time of such final settlement.
“(6)Certain plans.—The amendments made by subsections (a), (b), and (c) shall not apply to any ownership change with respect to—
“(B)
a merger which occurs pursuant to a merger agreement (entered into before
September 24, 1985) and an application for approval by the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board was filed on
October 4, 1985,
“(C)
a
reorganization involving a party to a
reorganization of a group of

corporation whose principal oil and gas producing fields are located in California, or
“(D)
the conversion of a mutual savings and
loan association holding a Federal charter dated

corporation incorporated in March 1980 under the laws of Delaware, and
“(B)
the

corporation) or retirement of the remaining common
stock of such carrier is completed before the later of
March 31, 1987, or 90 days after the requisite governmental approvals are finally granted,
but only if the ownership change occurs on or before the later of
March 31, 1987, or such 90th day. The aggregate reduction in
tax for any
taxable year by reason of this paragraph shall not exceed $10,000,000. The
testing period for determining whether a subsequent ownership change has occurred shall not begin before the 1st day following an ownership change to which this paragraph applies.
“(8)
The amendments made by subsections (a), (b), and (c) shall not apply to any ownership change resulting from the conversion of a Minnesota mutual savings
bank holding a Federal charter dated
December 31, 1985, to a
stock savings
bank pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board, and from the issuance of
stock pursuant to that conversion to a holding company incorporated in Delaware on
February 21, 1984. For purposes of determining whether any ownership change occurs with respect to the holding company or any
subsidiary thereof (whether resulting from the
transaction described in the preceding sentence or otherwise), any issuance of
stock made by such holding company in connection with the
transaction described in the preceding sentence shall not be taken into account.

Pub. L. 111–5, div. B, title I, § 1261, Feb. 17, 2009, 123 Stat. 342, provided that:
“(a)Findings.—Congress finds as follows:
“(1)
The delegation of authority to the
Secretary of the Treasury under section 382(m) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 does not authorize the
Secretary to provide exemptions or special rules that are restricted to particular industries or classes of
taxpayers.
“(2)
Internal Revenue Service Notice 2008–83 is inconsistent with the congressional intent in enacting such section 382(m).
“(3)
The legal authority to prescribe Internal Revenue Service Notice 2008–83 is doubtful.
“(4)
However, as
taxpayers should generally be able to rely on guidance issued by the
Secretary of the Treasury legislation is necessary to clarify the force and effect of
Internal Revenue Service Notice 2008–83 and restore the proper application under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 of the limitation on built-in losses following an ownership change of a
bank.
“(b)Determination of Force and Effect of Notice 2008–83 Exempting Banks From Limitation on Certain Built–in Losses Following Ownership Change.—
“(1)In general.—Internal Revenue Service Notice 2008–83—
“(A)
shall be deemed to have the force and effect of law with respect to any ownership change (as defined in section 382(g) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) occurring on or before January 16, 2009, and
“(B)
shall have no force or effect with respect to any ownership change after such date.
“(2)Binding contracts.—Notwithstanding paragraph (1), Internal Revenue Service Notice 2008–83 shall have the force and effect of law with respect to any ownership change (as so defined) which occurs after January 16, 2009, if such change—
“(A)
is pursuant to a written binding
contract entered into on or before such date, or
“(B)
is pursuant to a written agreement entered into on or before such date and such agreement was described on or before such date in a public announcement or in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission required by reason of such ownership change.”
