Ohio Code 1322.16 – Transfer of ownership interests; notification
(A) A registrant that is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, trust, or other business entity or association shall notify the division of financial institutions of every sale, transfer, or hypothecation of any stock, security, membership, partnership, or other equitable, beneficial, or ownership interest in the entity or association, if the interest represents at least a five per cent membership, partnership, or other equitable, beneficial, or ownership interest in the entity or association.
Terms Used In Ohio Code 1322.16
- Corporation: A legal entity owned by the holders of shares of stock that have been issued, and that can own, receive, and transfer property, and carry on business in its own name.
- Entity: means a business organization, including a sole proprietorship. See Ohio Code 1322.01
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
- Partnership: A voluntary contract between two or more persons to pool some or all of their assets into a business, with the agreement that there will be a proportional sharing of profits and losses.
- Person: means an individual, sole proprietorship, corporation, company, limited liability company, partnership, limited liability partnership, trust, or association. See Ohio Code 1322.01
- Registrant: means any person that has been issued a certificate of registration under this chapter. See Ohio Code 1322.01
(B) Every person that acquires or otherwise receives an interest described in division (A) of this section is subject to this chapter. The division may make any investigation necessary to determine whether any fact or condition exists that, if it had existed at the time of the original application for a certificate of registration, the fact or condition would have warranted the division to deny the application under section 1322.10 of the Revised Code. If such a fact or condition is found, the division may, in accordance with Chapter 119 of the Revised Code, revoke the registrant’s certificate.
