The capital proceeds received by Holders on Redemption of the MCN7 will be replaced with the market value of the MCN7 on the Redemption Date (worked out as if the Redemption had not occurred and was never proposed to occur) if the capital proceeds are more or less than the market value of the MCN7 (subparagraph 116-30(2)(b)(ii)). [...] The policy of MGL in relation to the franking of dividends on the MGL Ordinary Shares of MGL is not expected to change as a result of the issuance of the MCN7. [...] (i) The share capital account of MGL will not become tainted (within the meaning of Division 197) by the issue of the MCN7 or the issue of MGL Ordinary Shares on Exchange of the MCN7. [...] Both the issue of MGL Ordinary Shares on Exchange and the Redemption of MCN7 will constitute the provision of a capital benefit to Holders (paragraph 45A(3)(a) of the ITAA 1936 for an Exchange, and paragraph 45A(3)(b) of the ITAA 1936 as affected by subsection 45A(3A) of the ITAA 1936 for a Redemption). [...] Accordingly, paragraph 45B(2)(c) of the ITAA 1936 would not be satisfied and the Commissioner will not make a determination under paragraph 45B(3)(b) of the ITAA 1936 that section 45C of the ITAA 1936 applies to the whole, or a part, of the capital benefit provided to Holders on Exchange or Redemption.
