Subject: 802.21

2 years ago A filed to acquire voting securities of X at the $50 million threshold. The acquiring entity was A's wholly·owned sub B. Subsequently A spun off B to its shareholders. B still holds the voting securities of X. B now would like to acquire additional shares of X which would not exceed the $100 million threshold. The question is whether B can rely on 802.21 for its acquisition.
