49.7. For the purposes of sections 50 and 725.2, where a taxpayer receives at a particular time one or more particular amounts in respect of rights of the taxpayer to acquire securities under an agreement referred to in section 48 ceasing to be exercisable in accordance with the terms of the agreement, and the cessation would not, but for this section, constitute a transfer or disposition of those rights by the taxpayer, the following rules apply:

(a)  the taxpayer is deemed to have disposed of those rights at the particular time to a person with whom the taxpayer was dealing at arm’s length and to have received the particular amounts as consideration for the disposition; and

(b)  for the purpose of determining the amount, if any, of the benefit that the taxpayer is deemed by section 50 to have received as a consequence of the disposition referred to in paragraph a, the taxpayer is deemed to have paid an amount to acquire those rights equal to the amount by which the amount paid by the taxpayer to acquire those rights, determined without reference to this section, exceeds the aggregate of all amounts each of which is an amount received by the taxpayer before the particular time in respect of the cessation.
