(2) The additional cash received incident to the exchange or conversion;
(3) The other amounts, if any, transferred to capital stock incident to the exchange or conversion.
In any such case the consideration shall be not less than the minimum amount specified in subsection (a) of this Code section. Any amount by which capital stock may be reduced upon an exchange or conversion shall be transferred to paid-in capital.
