§ 11-15 Notification of Material Change in Information, Addition of Principal and Change in Composition of Business.

RCNY § 11-15

(a)An applicant for a registration or a photo identification card shall notify the Commission within ten (10) calendar days of any material change in the information submitted in an application or disclosure form submitted pursuant to this subchapter. Subsequent to the issuance of the registration or photo identification card, the registrant or photo identification card holder shall notify the Commission within thirty (30) calendar days of any material change in the information submitted in an application or disclosure form.

(b)A registrant shall provide the Commission with notice of at least ten (10) business days of the proposed addition of a new principal (other than a person that becomes a principal through the acquisition of outstanding shares of a business whose equity securities are registered under Federal and State securities laws and publicly traded on a national or regional stock or security exchange). The Commission may waive or shorten such period upon a showing that there exists a bona fide business requirement therefor. Except where the Commission determines within such period, based upon information available to it, that the addition of such new principal may have a result inimical to the purposes of this subchapter, the registrant may add such new principal pending the completion of review by the Commission. The registrant shall be afforded an opportunity to demonstrate to the Commission that the addition of such new principal pending completion of such review would not have a result inimical to the purposes of this subchapter. If upon the completion of such review, the Commission determines that such principal lacks good character, honesty and integrity, the registration shall cease to be valid unless such principal divests his or her interest, or discontinues his or her involvement in the business of such registrant, as the case may be, within the time period prescribed by the Commission.

(c)The registrant shall also notify the Commission within thirty (30) days calendar days, of the ownership composition of the business.

(d)Any notification pursuant to this section shall be in writing, sworn and notarized.

(e)For the purposes of this section "material change" shall mean a change in any information provided in response to an item identified as such on an application or disclosure form submitted to the Commission or by any other directive issued by the Commission. "Material change" also includes the occurrence of any event after the submission of an application or disclosure that would have been required to be disclosed on such form had it occurred prior to such submission.
