NOTIFICATION AND SIGNIFICANCE OF BYLAW
PERTAINING TO
TAX TREATMENT OF DISTRIBUTIONS
Bylaw No. 10.11 of Sunkist Growers, Inc., effective November 1, 1967,, reads as follows:
10.11 Tax Treatment — Every person who hereafter applies for and is accepted to
membership in Sunkist and each member of Sunkist on the effective date of this bylaw who
continues as a member after such date shall, by such act alone, consent that the amount of
any distributions with respect to his patronage occurring after November 1, 1967, which
are made in written notices of allocation or per-unit retain certificates (as defined in 26
U.S.C. 1388) and which are received by him from Sunkist will be taken into account by
him at their stated dollar amounts in a manner provided in 26 U.S.C. 1385(a) in the
taxable year in which such written notices of allocation or per-unit retain certificates are
received by him. This bylaw is effective November 1, 1967. For tax treatment for prior
years refer to prior bylaw.
The effect of such Bylaw No. 10.11, as amended effective November 1, 1967, is that each
member agrees to include both patronage dividends and per-unit retains issued with respect to
patronage occurring after November 1, 1967, in income at their face amount for federal tax
purposes in the taxable year when the member receives a written notice stating the amount of such
patronage allocation. This is true even though the allocation is not paid in cash until a later year.
