3 Colo. Code Regs. § 702-3-2-2-12

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 24, December 25, 2024
Section 3 CCR 702-3-2-2-12 - Ownership of Securities Held in Trust
A. Beneficial ownership of a security for the purpose of Section 10-3-120(1), C.R.S., shall include:
1. The ownership of securities as a trustee where either the trustee or members of his immediate family have a vested interest in the income or corpus of the trust,
2. The ownership of a vested beneficial interest in a trust, and
3. The ownership of securities as a settlor of a trust in which the settlor has the power to revoke the trust without obtaining the consent of all the beneficiaries.
B. In the event that ten percent of any class of any equity security of an insurer is held in a trust, that trust and the trustees thereof as such shall be deemed a person required to file the reports specified in Section 10-3-120(1), C.R.S.
C. No more than one report need be filed to report any holdings or with respect to any transaction in securities held by a trust, regardless of the number of officers, directors or ten percent stockholders who are either trustees, settlors, or beneficiaries of a trust, provided that the report filed shall disclose the names of all trustees, settlors and beneficiaries who are officers, directors or ten percent stockholders. A person having an interest only as a beneficiary of a trust shall not be required to file any such report so long as he relies in good faith upon an understanding that the trustee of such trust will file whatever reports might otherwise be required of such beneficiary.
D. As used in this section the "immediate family" of a trustee means:
1. A son or daughter of the trustee, or a descendant of either;
2. A stepson or stepdaughter of the trustee;
3. The father or mother of the trustee, or an ancestor of either;
4. A stepfather or stepmother of the trustee;
5. A spouse of the trustee.

For the purpose of determining whether any of the foregoing relations exists, a legally adopted child of a person shall be considered a child of such person by blood.

E. In determining, for the purposes of Section 10-3-120(1), C.R.S., whether a person is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than ten percent of any class of any equity security, the interest of such person in the remainder of a trust shall be excluded from the competition.
F. No report shall be required by any person, whether or not otherwise subject to the requirement of filing reports under Section 10-3-120(1), C.R.S., with respect to his indirect interest in portfolio securities held by:
1. A pension or retirement plan holding securities of an insurer whose employees generally are the beneficiaries of the plan,
2. A business trust with over 25 beneficiaries.
G. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to impose any duties or liabilities with respect to reporting any transaction or holding prior to its effective date.
