Beneficial Owners

Abstract

Existing law requires a person who is directly or indirectly the beneficial owner of more than 10% of any class of stock of a domestic insurer to file in the office of the Insurance Commissioner within 10 days after that person becomes a beneficial owner a statement, in a form prescribed by the commissioner, of the amount of all stock of that insurer of which the person is the beneficial owner, as specified. The General Corporation Law (GCL) requires a domestic corporation and a foreign corporation to file annually, as prescribed, with the Secretary of State, a statement containing certain information, including the names and complete business or residence addresses of its chief executive officer, secretary, and chief financial officer. The GCL requires a domestic corporation to certify that the information it provides in that statement is true and correct. This bill would additionally require those corporations to include in the statement described above the names and complete business or residence addresses of any beneficial owner, as defined. By expanding the scope of the crime of perjury, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. Existing law, the California Revised Uniform Limited Liability Company Act, requires a limited liability company, and a foreign limited liability company registered to transact intrastate business in this state, to file biennially, as specified, with the Secretary of State, a statement containing certain information, including the name and complete business or residence addresses of any manager or managers and the chief executive officer, if any, appointed or elected in accordance with the articles of organization or operating agreement or, if a manager has not been so elected or appointed, the name and business or residence address of each member. This bill would additionally require those limited liability companies to include in the statement described above the name and complete business or residence addresses of any beneficial owner, as defined. Existing law authorizes an unincorporated association to file with the Secretary of State, on a form prescribed by the Secretary of State, a statement containing either of certain information, including a designation of the location and complete street address of the unincorporated association's principal office in California. This bill would require a real estate investment trust, as defined, to file with the Secretary of State a statement containing the name and complete business or residence address of any beneficial owner, as defined. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
