Preferred Partnership Freeze (PPF) is for investors interested in enhanced wealth
transfer opportunities using a Delaware Statutory Trust
Purpose: to "freeze" the value of assets that will be included in the senior generation's estate and shift the
excess appreciation to the junior generation(s) without additional transfer tax.
• It enables investors to transfer to beneficiaries anticipated appreciation in a tax-efficient manner while
retaining a large portion of the investment and a fixed return
• Investment is divided into Managing Units, Preferred Units and Residual Units
• Preferred Units represent majority of initial asset value and carry a fixed (cumulative, non-compounding) rate
of return
• Residual Units represent balance of initial asset value plus anticipated appreciation in excess of the preferred
return
• Residual Units are gifted and/or sold to beneficiaries

Structure of Preferred Partnership Freeze
0 Senior family members transfer assets into a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST)
0 DST issues multiple classes of units:
•
Managing Units: general management control and collective 1% economic interest
O
•
Preferred Units and Residual Units: limited management rights and collective remaining 99% economic
interest
-
Preferred Units provide a fixed, cumulative annual return to senior family members equal to the
annual preferred payment on the Preferred Units (can be deferred for 4 years) and a fixed value on
liquidation. Preferred Units provide greater security but limit participation in appreciation of the
assets
-
Residual Units provide excess appreciation after satisfying Managing Units' 1% interest, and the
Preferred Units preferred return. Residual Units provide less security but accrue the capital, income and
appreciation beyond the fixed return to Preferred Units
•
J.P.Morgan Trust Company of Delaware acts as administrative trustee
Senior family members initially receive all DST units for their contribution

PPF capitalizes on Delaware's favorable laws and continuity of asset management
across generations...
• Limited liability for all Unit holders, even if they participate in management
• Confidentiality of all Unit holders is preserved as only the name of the trust and the name and address of the
Delaware trustee need to be disclosed
• Dissolution does not necessarily occur upon the death, incapacity or bankruptcy of a unit holder
• Flexibility to react to changes in regulatory or tax laws to facilitate the changing needs of trust participants
• Trustee is allowed broad investment authority to employ Modern Portfolio Theory and flexibility of delegating
investment decisions to other advisors
J.P.Morgan

EFTA01145551
...and J.P.Morgan's ability to offer bundled delivery makes the PPF a cost-efficient
solution
• The formation of a preferred partnership freeze is simple and economical
— established by filing a Certificate of Trust with the Delaware Secretary of State
• Investment management costs can be reduced through economies of scale
• J.P.Morgan's fiduciary system provides the following:
— documentation of the value of units transferred among family members
- attendance to tax compliance
- maintenance of the records of the preferred partnership freeze strategy to preserve its integrity for tax
purposes as a separate legal entity

Transfer tax considerations
• Internal Revenue Code Section 2701 describes and sanctions the estate freeze strategy
• Gift tax value of Residual Units must be ≥ 10% of the capital account funding value of estate freeze strategy
• Discounts may apply to funding, calculation of the effective preferred rate and valuation of Residual Units
• Appreciation in estate freeze assets exceeding effective preferred payment rate accrues to benefit of Residual
Unit holders without causing additional gift or estate tax
• Preferred Payments:
- Based on prevailing "Market Rate" of return, typically determined by valuation professional's appraisal and
may be deferred for 4 years on a rolling basis
- Nominal preferred rate may be reduced by discounted funding, deferral of preferred payments and benefit
of all capital (including common units) at work to produce amount necessary to pay this lower effective
rate
• PPF may be less likely to be subject to IRS scrutiny than standard family limited partnerships.
- Reinforced by the independent Trustee's control over distributions

Income tax considerations
• PPF: Delaware Statutory Trust classified as partnership for income tax purposes
• Contributions: generally in-kind contributions do not cause immediate gain recognition
- Exceptions may apply, such as:
• Investment company rules - diversification
• Property contribution subject to liabilities assumed by partnership
- Built-in gains: subsequent partnership sale allocations of pre-contribution gain to contributor
• Basis (if tax free contribution):
— Partnership's basis in assets same as contributor's basis
— Partner's basis equals cash plus adjusted basis of contributed assets
• Allocations:
- Profits: First to Common Managing Units and Residual Units allocable for prior aggregate losses, second to Preferred
Units for prior aggregate losses, third to Managing Units percentage interest and Preferred Units' cumulative return,
and fourth to Residual Units
-
Losses: First to Common Managing Units percentage interest and Common Residual Units until reduced to zero then
second to Preferred Units until reduced to zero
• Preferred payments: made only from net cumulative tax profits from inception, so Preferred Units have taxable income
up to nominal return when partnership has taxable income
- Not guaranteed payments which are required regardless of income and which are taxed as ordinary income with
partnership realized events when satisfied in-kind
- Non-taxable in-kind distributions or borrowed cash can be used to satisfy timely preferred payments
• Distributions:
— Cash: distribution taxable typically as capital gains only if exceeds basis
-
Security: distribution generally not taxable event
• Exception - Built-in gains within 7 years of contribution unless contributor reacquires back originally contributed
property
— Non-liquidating distribution: partnership inside basis allocation
— Liquidating distribution: partner's outside basis allocation; generally non taxable event unless cash exceeds outside
basis
— Disguised sale presumption: taxable event presumption for distributions within two years of contribution
• Mergers with Family Limited Partnerships

7.5% preferred coupon rate reduced by benefit of residual units value (in addition to preferred and managing units) to fund
coupon payments, payment deferral periods, and 15% discount on assets contributed. Therefore, effective hurdle rate is the return

Key Benefits
Non-economic
• Single upfront transfer eliminating need for annual transfers in the future (i.e. cascading GRATs that
continually "re-GRAT"
• Consolidated management in Delaware
• Strong legal certainty
• Beneficial definition of security law "Qualified Purchaser" vs. GRAT
• Leverage other strategies with additional discount afforded structure
Economic
• No leakage first 4 years, minimal leakage thereafter
• May benefit from valuation discounts
• GST allocation with gift of residual
• If appreciation not as expected, can redeem preferred, locking in value or dissolve and recapitalize
• Hurdle rate may be lower than AFR and 7520 rates per valuation discount and benefit of preferred payments
deferral
Key Risks
• IRS may arrive at different valuation conclusions
• Underlying asset could experience losses or earn less than the preferred coupon
• Tax law changes may affect potential benefits of structure

Creative gifts of Residual Units may further enhance the PPF
• Gifts to grantor trusts
—
investor remains responsible for income taxes of trust, allowing the trust principal to grow tax-free
—
trust provisions may provide for asset substitution, allowing investor to transfer high basis property/cash
to trust in exchange for the low basis property in order to receive benefit of stepped up estate tax basis
• Gifts to generation-skipping trusts
—
value passes beyond children's generation without second level transfer taxes
—
Perpetual Delaware Trust compounds estate tax free for successive generations
• Other wealth transfer strategies may be integrated with the PPF
