(a) A licensee shall give the commissioner written notice of a proposed change of control within fifteen (15) business days after learning of the proposed change of control.
(b) The commissioner may require the licensee to provide additional information concerning the proposed persons in control of the licensee. The additional information shall be limited to the same types required of the licensee or persons in control of the licensee as part of its original license or renewal application.
(c) The licensee shall reapply and submit the required fees established by rule, not to exceed three thousand dollars ($3,000.00) for a new license upon a change in the control of the licensee as determined by the commissioner. The license is not transferable nor assignable to the new persons in control of the licensee.
(d) The following persons are exempt from the requirements of subsections (a) through (c) of this section, but the licensee shall notify the commissioner of a change of control:
(i) A person that acts as a proxy for the sole purpose of voting at a designated meeting of the security holders or holders of voting interests of a licensee or person in control of a licensee;
(ii) A person that acquires control of a licensee by devise or descent;
(iii) A person that acquires control as a personal representative, custodian, guardian, conservator, or trustee, or as an officer appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction or by operation of law; and
(iv) A person that the commissioner by rule or order exempts in the public interest.
(e) Subsection (a) of this section does not apply to public offerings of securities.
(f) Before filing a request for approval to acquire control, a person may request in writing a determination from the commissioner as to whether the person would be considered a person in control of a licensee upon consummation of a proposed transaction. If the commissioner determines that the person would not be a person in control of a licensee, the commissioner shall enter an order to that effect and the proposed person and transaction is not subject to the requirements of subsections (a) through (c) of this section.
