TAXPAYER INFORMATION

One of your tax clients, Greta Mills, called you this morning with a tax issue.In an exchange qualifying for Section 351 tax-free treatment, Greta received 100 shares of the White Corporation's stock, plus a right to receive another 25 shares.The right is contingent on the valuation of a patent contributed by Greta.Because the patent is pending, the patent cannot be valued for several months.

Greta would like you to explain what her tax consequences will be when she exercises her right and receives the 25 shares. Specifically, for purposes of Section 351, whether the 25 shares will be considered "boot" and thus taxable to her, or be considered additional nontaxable stock.
