RegistrationQuestion 24 of 100
A registered broker-dealer reorganizes and a successor firm takes over the business in the middle of the registration year. Under the Uniform Securities Act, the successor firm:
a.Must file a completely new application and wait thirty days before doing business
b.May file an application that becomes effective on the date the predecessor's registration terminates and is effective for the unexpired portion of the year without an additional filing fee
c.May simply continue to operate under the predecessor's registration indefinitely
d.Must cease all business until the next annual renewal cycle
Explanation
The act permits a successor to file an application that takes effect when the predecessor's registration terminates and runs for the unexpired portion of the year, with no filing fee charged for that partial period. The successor cannot simply operate on the predecessor's registration, but neither must it endure a full waiting period or suspend operations.
