A brokerdealer or investment adviser may succeed to the current registration of another brokerdealer or investment adviser or a notice filing of a federal covered investment adviser, and a federal covered investment adviser may succeed to the current registration of an investment adviser or notice filing of another federal covered investment adviser, by filing as a successor an application for registration pursuant to § 47-31B-401 or 47-31B-403 or a notice pursuant to § 47-31B-405 for the unexpired portion of the current registration or notice filing.

(b) Organizational change. A brokerdealer or investment adviser that changes its form of organization or state of incorporation or organization may continue its registration by filing an amendment to its registration if the change does not involve a material change in its financial condition or management. The amendment becomes effective when filed or on a date designated by the registrant in its filing. The new organization is a successor to the original registrant for the purposes of this chapter. If there is a material change in financial condition or management, the brokerdealer or investment adviser shall file a new application for registration.
