| 2.__Organizational change.__A broker-dealer or investment |
adviser that changes its form of organization or state of |
incorporation or organization may continue its license by filing |
an amendment to its license if the change does not involve a |
material change in its financial condition or management. The |
amendment becomes effective when filed or on a date designated by |
the licensee in its filing. The new organization is a successor |
to the original licensee for the purposes of this chapter. If |
there is a material change in financial condition or management, |
the broker-dealer or investment adviser shall file a new |
application for licensing. A predecessor licensed under this |
chapter shall stop conducting its securities business other than |
winding down transactions and shall file for withdrawal of |
broker-dealer or investment adviser licensing within 45 days |
after filing its amendment to effect succession. |
