Section 8-1103 - [Effective Until 7/1/2025] Rules for determining whether certain obligations and interests are securities or financial assets(1). A share or similar equity interest issued by a corporation, business trust, joint stock company or similar entity is a security. [1997, c. 429, Pt. B, §2(NEW).]
(2). An investment company security is a security. "Investment company security" means a share or similar equity interest issued by an entity that is registered as an investment company under the federal investment company laws, an interest in a unit investment trust that is so registered or a face-amount certificate issued by a face-amount certificate company that is so registered. "Investment company security" does not include an insurance policy or endowment policy or annuity contract issued by an insurance company. [1997, c. 429, Pt. B, §2(NEW).]
(3). An interest in a partnership or limited liability company is not a security unless it is dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or in securities markets, its terms expressly provide that it is a security governed by this Article or it is an investment company security. An interest in a partnership or limited liability company is a financial asset if it is held in a securities account. [1997, c. 429, Pt. B, §2(NEW).]
(4). A writing that is a security certificate is governed by this Article and not by Article 3-A, even though it also meets the requirements of that Article. A negotiable instrument governed by Article 3-A is a financial asset if it is held in a securities account. [1997, c. 429, Pt. B, §2(NEW).]
