Universal Citation: LA Admin Code III-2502

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 3, March 20, 2024

A. Except as otherwise provided in this Chapter, the transfer of the following interests shall receive prior written approval of the board or division:

1. other than the transfer of securities in a publicly traded corporation, an ownership or economic interest of 5 percent or more in a licensee, permittee, casino operator or casino manager;

2. other than the transfer of securities in a publicly traded corporation, an ownership or economic interest of 5 percent or more in any person required to meet the qualification and suitability requirements of the Act;

3. a transaction that results in a change of control of a licensee, permittee, casino operator or casino manager; or

4. a transaction in which a person acquires control of a licensee, permittee, casino operator or casino manager.

B. The acquisition of an ownership or economic interest in a licensee, permittee, casino operator or casino manager not listed in Subsection A of this Section is conditional and ineffective if subsequently disapproved by the board or division. The person involved in an acquisition other than one listed in Subsection A of this Section may request prior approval of the transaction from the board or division.

C. The requirements of Subsection A of this Section shall apply should an accumulation of transfers occur wherein 5 percent or more ownership or economic interest or such other interest that otherwise leads to a change of control in a licensee, permittee, casino operator or casino manager is transferred.

D. Any person seeking prior approval required by this Section shall comply with the provisions of this Chapter unless the board or division waives any or all of the requirements upon receipt of a written request for such waiver.

E. No transfer of interest for which prior approval is required pursuant to this Chapter may be completed unless the transfer and proposed transferee have been approved, in writing, by the board and any transfer that occurs without the prior approval of the board is void and without effect. Failure to obtain prior approval as required by this Section may be grounds for administrative action against a licensee, permittee, casino operator or casino manager.
