Section 45-5-505 - Change of control(a) A change in control of a registrant shall require thirty (30) days prior notice in writing to the commissioner. However, in the case of a publicly traded corporation, notification shall be made in writing within thirty (30) days of a change or acquisition of control of a registrant.(b) Upon notification, the commissioner may require information deemed necessary to determine whether an application for registration is required. The commissioner may waive the filing of an application if, in the commissioner's discretion, the change in control does not pose any risk to the interests of the public.(c) Whenever control of a registrant is acquired or exercised in violation of this section, the registration of the registrant shall be deemed revoked as of the date of the unlawful acquisition of control. The registrant, or its controlling person, shall surrender the registration to the commissioner on demand.
