A sale to an IDGT is a tax-efficient way to transfer future appreciation of an asset Intentionally Defective Grantor Trust (“IDGT”) e Grantor makes arm’s length sale of assets to an irrevocable trust e Grantor receives a note for the fair market value of the asset plus interest at current AFR e Grantor pays income taxes generated by trust assets e After the note is paid, remaining trust assets pass to heirs gift tax free e Additional considerations — trust should be “pre-funded” by grantor to provide sufficient coverage for the note — having the loan guaranteed by trust beneficiaries may be beneficial — advisable to allocate GST exemption to trust in order to maximize benefit to heirs J.P Morgan i HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_022351
How a sale to an IDGT works G) Sell asset at fair market value to the trust in return for a promissory note bearing interest G) Sell asset to trust for a note at proper AFR* based upon term of loan —==> (EE @) Grantor IDGT @) Receive payments satisfying terms of note ©) Pay income taxontrust ecelve Remaining assets G) Pay income tax on trust income and realized income and Payments pass to beneficiaries* gain realized gain () After note is paid off, remaining assets in trust Beneficiaries are available, free of gift tax, for beneficiaries** To enhance the potential benefits consider funding a series of cascading GRATs - the remainders can be added to the IDGT If the cascading GRATs are successful, at the end of the cascading GRAT terms additional assets can be sold to the IDGT * AFRs are defined as: 1) short-term - not over three years; 2) mid-term - over three, but not over nine years; 3) long-term - over nine years. ** |f Grantor dies before note is satisfied, the fair market value of the note is includible in grantor’s estate. J.P Morgan 2 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_022352
A “Cascading GRAT” strategy enhances the benefits of a GRAT e The “Cascading GRAT” strategy uses a GRAT’s annuity stream to fund subsequent short-term GRATs — annual reinvestment of annuity stream enhances potential value for beneficiaries e Multiple short-term GRATs allow you to take advantage of market volatility — shorter terms permit market “spikes” to be captured immediately e Short-term GRATs enable you to better manage mortality risks — if grantor dies during term of trust, the assets in the GRAT are included in the estate — grantor has greater probability of surviving a shorter term J.P Morgan 3 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_022353
How a “Cascading GRAT” strategy works G) Grantor transfers asset(s) to an irrevocable trust. Grantor may manage GRAT assets as trustee. @) Grantor pays little or no gift tax, or uses gift tax exemption*, on present value of trust remainder** Annuity payments from existing GRATs fund a new GRAT Grantor pays tax on ordinary income and realized gain earned by the trust (but not on annuity amount transferred from trust to grantor) ©; When trust term ends, remaining trust assets pass to beneficiaries free of gift tax if grantor does not survive the term, trust assets are included in the estate and subject to estate tax If necessary, grantor pays gift tax or uses gift tax exemption on transfer Grantor pays tax on ordinary income Grantor and realized gain earned by the trust Grantor transfers G) asset(s) Year 0 @) Annuity payments funds new GRAT Year 1 Anguity 1a Remaining Beneficiaries’ Estas © Trust ends G) Annuity payment funds new GRAT *Gift tax exemption in 2012 shelters up to $5,120,000 per individual of value transferred from gift tax. **Calculation based on Treasury discount rate in effect at time of funding GRAT. A recent Tax Court decision (Walton v. Commissioner, 115 T.C. No. 41 (Dec. 22, 2000)) allows GRAT to be “zeroed out,” eliminating the need to incur any gift tax. J.P Morgan 4 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_022354

On June 7, 2001, President Bush signed into law the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act ("EGTRRA") which significantly changed estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. On December 17, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Jobs Creation Act of 2010, which institutes estate, gift, and GST taxes at 35% with a $5MM exemption for 2011 and 2012 (adjusted for inflation), after which rates and exemptions will return to pre-EGTRRA levels.
