Sec. 801.20  Acquisitions subsequent to exceeding threshold.

    Acquisitions meeting the criteria of section 7A(a), and not 
otherwise exempted by section 7A(c) or Sec. 802.21 or any other of 
these rules, are subject to the requirements of the act even though:
    (a) Earlier acquisitions of assets or voting securities may have 
been subject to the requirements of the act;
    (b) The acquiring person's holdings initially may have met or 
exceeded a notification threshold before the effective date of these 
rules; or
    (c) The acquiring person's holdings initially may have met or 
exceeded a notification threshold by reason of increases in market 
values or events other than acquisitions.

    Examples: 1. Person ``A'' acquires $10 million of the voting 
securities of person ``B'' before the effective date of these rules. If 
``A'' wishes to acquire an additional $41 million of the voting 
securities of ``B'' after the effective date of the rules, notification 
will be required by reason of Section 7A(a)(2).
    2. In example 1, assume that the value of the voting securities of 
``B'' originally acquired by ``A'' has reached a present value exceeding 
$50 million. If ``A'' wishes to acquire any additional voting securities 
or assets of ``B,'' notification will be required. See Sec. 801.13(a).
