12F.4 Prohibited investments — divestment.
1. The public fund shall not acquire publicly traded securities of a company on the public fund’s most recent scrutinized companies list with active business operations so long as such company remains on the public fund’s scrutinized companies list as a company with active business operations as provided in this section.
2. a. The public fund shall sell, redeem, divest, or withdraw all publicly traded securities of a company on the public fund’s list of scrutinized companies with active business operations, so long as the company remains on that list, no sooner than ninety days, but no later than eighteen months, following the first written notice sent to the scrutinized company with active business operations as required by section 12F.3.
b. This subsection shall not be construed to require the premature or otherwise imprudent sale, redemption, divestment, or withdrawal of an investment, but such sale, redemption, divestment, or withdrawal shall be completed as provided by this subsection.
3. The requirements of this section shall not apply to the following:
a. A company which the United States government affirmatively declares to be excluded from its present or any future federal sanctions regime relating to Sudan.
b. Indirect holdings of a scrutinized company with active business operations. The public fund shall, however, submit letters to the managers of such investment funds containing companies with scrutinized active business operations requesting that they consider removing such companies from the fund or create a similar fund with indirect holdings devoid of such companies. If the manager creates a similar fund, the public fund is encouraged to replace all applicable investments with investments in the similar fund consistent with prudent investing standards.
