Change of Ownership
Change in Ownership means an event in which the licensee changes to a different legal entity or in which 45 percent or more of the ownership, voting shares, or controlling interest in a corporation whose shares are not publicly traded on a recognized stock exchange is transferred or assigned, including the final transfer or assignment or multiple transfers or assignments over a 2-year period that cumulatively total 45 percent or greater. A change solely in the management company or board of directors is not a change of ownership. [see section 408.803(5), Florida Statutes]
