In most cases if the IRS has determined this is a tax-free exchange
of old stock for new, the dates carry over.

Dear all:

Here is a question about incentive stock option. I know that in
order for the gain on ISOs be treated as long term capital gain, it
must be exercised and hold for more than 1 year (and be granted more
than 2 years). My question is: if the company was acquired and the
exercised ISOs converted to the new company's stock, will the
converted stock be required to be held for another year in order to be
qualified for long term capital gain? i.e., will the original holding
period of the exercised ISOs be nullified if converted to another
stock due to acquisition?

Thanks a lot.
