Sec. 7. (a) “Distribution” means a direct or indirect transfer of money or other property (except a corporation's own shares) or incurrence or transfer of indebtedness by a corporation to or for the benefit of its shareholders in respect of any of its shares under IC 23-1-28. A distribution may be in the form of a declaration or payment of a dividend; a purchase, redemption, or other acquisition of shares; a distribution of indebtedness; or otherwise.
(b) The term does not include:
(1) amounts constituting reasonable compensation for past or present services or reasonable payments made in the ordinary course of business under a bona fide retirement plan or other benefit program; or
(2) the making of or payment or performance upon a bona fide guaranty or similar arrangement by a corporation to or for the benefit of its shareholders.
However, the failure of an amount to satisfy subdivision (1), or of a payment or performance to satisfy subdivision (2), is not determinative of whether the amount, payment, or performance is a distribution.
