ii.  if all the equity of the particular trust that was acquired at or before the particular time as part of the series of transactions or events were acquired by one person, the person would not at the particular time be a majority-interest beneficiary of the particular trust, or
iii.  this paragraph previously applied to deem a person to become a majority-interest beneficiary of the particular trust because of an acquisition of equity of the particular trust that was part of the series of transactions or events.
