⁴ In an exceptional case the requisite interest may exist not in the corporation but in the property under question, as where the corporation is not German controlled but the property is German controlled.

⁵ In the case of dummy and closely held holding companies the country where the property is located is entitled to the portion corresponding to the German interest, however low that interest may be.

⁶ The country will make this reimbursement from its liquidation of the shares of the reintegrated corporation.

⁷ It is assumed that in this hypothetical case there are no creditors.

⁸ It will be noted that there is a 25 percent and control provision in Part IV while there is a 50 percent and control provision in Part III. The provision in Part IV operates to deprive Allied nationals of protection under the Agreement while that in Part III results in a shift as between custodians of different countries of the right to seize and benefit from certain German enemy assets.
