Section 21VAC5-20-60 - Broker-dealer merger or consolidation

A. When there is a merger or consolidation of two or more registrants, or the reorganization of a registrant, the surviving or new entity shall amend or file, as the case may be, Form BD (the filing of Form BD requires the payment of a $200 fee) and shall file a copy of the following with the commission at its Division of Securities and Retail Franchising upon its request:

1. The certificate of merger or consolidation.

2. The plan of merger or consolidation.

3. The amended or new charter and by-laws.

4. Any document of explanation.

5. The current financial statements of the surviving or new entity and surety bond, if necessary.

B. Such amendment and/or filing shall be made immediately after the merger or consolidation becomes effective, except that the required financial statements shall be filed within 30 calendar days of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. The registration of the surviving or new entity usually will be granted by the commission on the same date that the merger or consolidation becomes effective. Each agent of the nonsurviving or new entity shall comply with 21VAC5-20-90 before registration as an agent with his new employer becomes effective. Every other agent of the defunct corporation shall comply with 21VAC5-20-90 or 21VAC5-20-130, whichever may be applicable.
