801.32—Conversion and acquisition.
A conversion is an acquisition within the meaning of the act.
Code of Federal Regulations
Example:
Assume that acquiring person “A” wishes to convert convertible voting securities of issuer X, and is to receive common stock of X valued in excess of $50 million (as adjusted). If “A” and “X” satisfy the criteria of Section 7A(a)(1) and Section 7A(a)(2)(B)(ii), then “A” and “X” must file notification and observe the waiting period before “A” completes the acquisition of the X common stock, unless exempted by Section 7A(c) or the regulations in this part. Since § 801.30
applies, the waiting period begins upon notification by “A,” and “X” must file notification within 15 days.
