No, the partnership does not recognize any gain or loss as a result of this distribution.

Explanation:

In proportionate non-liquidating distribution, a partnership does not recognize any gain or loss because the gain or loss that is incurred, due to distribution to partners is reported in partner's tax returns, that is, they are included in partner's income only. So, the partnership does not recognize any gain or loss as a result of this distribution.
