Sec. 9. (a) For purposes of determining compliance with ownership restrictions in this chapter, a person to whom a stock purchase option or warrant has been granted under this chapter is not considered to own the underlying securities until the stock purchase option or warrant is exercised and the securities have been issued.
(b) An increase in a person's percentage ownership of securities does not constitute a violation of the securities ownership restrictions in this chapter if the increase in percentage ownership results solely from a decrease in the aggregate number of securities outstanding.
(c) An inadvertent ownership of securities that exceeds the securities ownership limitations in this chapter does not violate this chapter if:
(1) a sufficient number of securities are divested within thirty (30) days after the limitation was first known to be exceeded so that the limitation is no longer exceeded; and
(2) during the period when the limitation is known to have been exceeded, the owner of the securities:
(A) does not vote any securities in excess of the limitation; and
(B) does not accept a dividend in respect of any securities that exceed the limitations.
As added by P.L.5-2000, SEC.4.
