Section 26-A2722. LIMITATIONS ON OWNERSHIP

 

2722.1A variable life insurance separate account shall not purchase or otherwise acquire the securities of any issuer, other than securities issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the United States, if immediately after such purchase or acquisition the value of such investment, together with prior investments of such separate account in such security valued as required by these regulations, would exceed 10 percent of the value of the assets of the separate account. The Commissioner may waive this limitation in writing if he believes such waiver will not render the operation of the separate account hazardous to the public or the policyholders in the District.

 

2722.2No separate account may not purchase or otherwise acquire the voting securities of any issuer if as a result of such acquisition the insurer and its separate accounts in the aggregate, will own more than ten percent (10%) of the total issued and outstanding voting securities of such issuer. The Commissioner may waive this limitation in writing if he believes such waiver will not render the operation of the separate account hazardous to the public or the policyholders in the District or jeopardize the independent operation of the issuer of such securities.

 

2722.3The percentage limitation specified in Subsection 2722.1 of this section shall not be construed to preclude the investment of the assets of separate accounts in shares of investment companies registered pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940 if the investments and investment policies of such investment companies comply substantially with the provisions of Section 2721 of this chapter and other applicable portions of this regulation.
