A. The transfer of a license or an interest in a license issued pursuant to this Chapter is prohibited.B. The sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, or disposition of a security or securities which represents five percent or more of the total outstanding shares issued by a corporation that holds a license is conditional and ineffective if disapproved by the division.C. A security issued by a corporation that holds a license must bear, on both sides of the certificate, a statement of the restrictions imposed by this Chapter. However, for a publicly traded corporation incorporated before January 15, 1992, a statement of restriction is necessary only for certificates issued by the corporation after the corporation applies for a license.D. If the division finds that an individual owner or holder of a security of a corporate licensee or of a holding or an intermediary company or any person or persons with an economic interest in a licensee, or a director, partner, officer, or manager is not qualified under this Chapter, and if as a result the licensee is no longer qualified to continue as a licensee, the division shall propose action necessary to protect the public interest, including the suspension or revocation of the license or permit. The division may also issue, under penalty a revocation of license, a condition of disqualification naming the person or persons and declaring that such person or persons may not: (1) Receive dividends or interest on securities of the corporation.(2) Exercise directly, or through a trustee or nominee, a right conferred by securities of the corporation.(3) Receive remuneration from the licensee.(4) Receive any economic benefit from the licensee.(5) Continue in an ownership or economic interest in a licensee or remain as a manager, officer, director, or partner of a licensee.E. After a license is granted, any person acquiring five percent or more in the total outstanding shares of a licensee or a five percent or more economic interest in a licensee is required to obtain the division's approval prior to such transaction. Failure to obtain division approval of a transfer is grounds for license revocation.Acts 1991, No. 753, §1, eff. July 18, 1991. Redesignated from R.S. 4:528 by Acts 1996, 1st Ex.
