(a)Ownership interests are held or acquired solely for the purpose of passive investment if the person holding or acquiring such interests does not plan or intend to exercise control and---
(1)Is not afforded any rights that if exercised would constitute control;
(2)Does not acquire any access, rights, or involvement specified § 800.211(b);
(3)Does not possess or develop any purpose other than passive investment; and
(4)Does not take any action inconsistent with holding or acquiring such interests solely for the purpose of passive investment. (See § 800.302(b).)
(b)Example: Corporation A, a foreign person, acquires a voting interest in Corporation B, a U.S. business. In addition to the voting interest, Corporation A negotiates the right to appoint a member of Corporation B's board of directors.
