What is the tax impact on a Carnival plc shareholder to accepted Carnival Corporation's partial share offer on April 17, 2003?
Shareholders in Carnival plc (formerly P&O Princess Cruises plc) who accepted the Carnival Corporation Partial Share Offer on April 17, 2003 made a taxable disposal or part disposal of their P&O Princess shares taken up by Carnival Corporation in the Partial Share Offer for the purposes of UK tax on chargeable gains. This disposal or part disposal may give rise to a liability to UK tax on chargeable gains depending on the shareholder's particular circumstances (including the availability of exemptions or allowable losses).
The value of the consideration received will be determined for the purposes of UK tax on chargeable gains by aggregating the value of the Carnival Corporation shares received in exchange for P&O Princess shares and the amount of any cash received in respect of fractional entitlements.
Shareholders should consult their independent professional advisers in the light of their particular circumstances following the Partial Share Offer. As a general guide only, the value of the Carnival Corporation shares received can be determined as the closing price of Carnival Corporation shares on April 16, 2003, the last available stock price prior to completion, being $26.01 per share (Source: Thompson Datastream). At the prevailing spot exchange rate at close on April 17, 2003, this converts to £16.56 per share.

What is a "paired share" or "trust share"?
Effective April 17, 2003, Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc (formerly known as P&O Princess Cruises plc) completed a dual listed company transaction. On most matters that affect all shareholders of Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc, each of their shareholders will vote together as a single body. As a mechanism to effect the new voting arrangements resulting from the DLC transaction, shares of Carnival Corporation common stock were paired with trust shares of beneficial interest in the P&O Princess Special Voting Trust (the "Special Voting Trust"). These are referred to as the "trust shares" (or in some literature they are referred to as "paired shares"). The trustee of the Special Voting Trust holds a special voting share which is the means by which the vote of Carnival Corporation shareholders is given effect at the parallel meeting of the shareholders of Carnival plc. Accordingly, each holder of Carnival Corporation common stock is also deemed to be the beneficial owner of an equivalent number of trust shares. The trust shares that are paired with the Carnival Corporation common stock do not give the holder separate voting rights. Separate certificates are not issued to represent these trust shares. Instead, the trust shares are paired with, and evidenced by, certificates representing Carnival Corporation common stock. The trust shares cannot be transferred separately from the Carnival Corporation common stock and have no separate value.
