CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
-----------------------------------------------------
The following supplements the discussion set forth in the Prospectus
Supplement under the heading "Certain United States Federal Income Tax
Consequences."
On December 15, 1994, the Internal Revenue Service released proposed
Treasury regulations (the "Proposed Regulations") which relate to variable rate
debt instruments and contingent payment debt instruments. The Proposed
Regulations contain proposed amendments to the final Treasury regulations issued
on January 27, 1994 relating to variable rate debt instruments. The Proposed
Regulations also supersede the proposed Treasury regulations relating to
contingent payment debt instruments previously released by the Internal Revenue
Service in 1986 and 1991, the latter of which provided rules to bifurcate
certain contingent payment debt instruments into their component parts. In
general, the Proposed Regulations are proposed to be effective for debt
instruments issued on or after the date that is 60 days after final
regulations are published.
Accordingly, with respect to "qualifying variable rate" debt instruments,
the following are the material changes to the discussion in the fifth and sixth
paragraphs under the heading "Certain United States Federal Income Tax
Consequences--Original Issue Discount" in the Prospectus Supplement:
(1) The Proposed Regulations would change the phrase "less than one
year" to "one year or less" with respect to debt instruments providing for
interest stated at an initial fixed rate followed by a variable rate that
is either a qualified floating rate or an objective rate for a subsequent
period. This change is proposed to be effective for debt instruments issued
on or after April 4, 1994.
(2) The Proposed Regulations would change the definition of an
"objective rate" to a rate (other than an qualified floating rate) that is
determined using a single fixed formula and that is based on objective
financial or economic information. The rate, however, must not be based on
information that is within the control of the issuer (or a related party)
or that is, in general, unique to the circumstances of the issuer (or a
related party), such as dividends, profits, or the value of the issuer's
stock. This change is proposed to be effective for debt instruments issued
on or after the date that is 60 days after final regulations are published.
(3) The Proposed Regulations make it clear with respect to variable
rate debt instruments that provide for annual payments of interest at a
single variable rate, that the qualified stated interest allocable to an
accrual period is increased (or decreased) if the interest actually paid
during an accrual period exceeds (or is less than) the interest assumed to
be paid during the accrual period. This clarification is proposed to be
effective for debt instruments issued on or after April 4, 1994.
With respect to variable rate debt instruments that do not bear interest at
a "qualifying variable rate," and accordingly will be treated as contingent
payment debt instruments, the discussion in the seventh paragraph under the
heading "Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences--Original Issue
Discount" does not reflect the Proposed Regulations that were released on
December 15, 1994, which supersede the proposed regulations described in that
paragraph. In the event the Corporation issues contingent payment debt
instruments, the applicable pricing supplement will describe the material
federal income tax consequences.
