"Who are affiliates? Under Rule 405 of the Securities Act, an "affiliate" of or person "affiliated" with a specified person shall mean a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the person specified. An individual's status as an affiliate is a fact-specific inquiry which must be determined by considering all relevant facts in accordance with Rule 405. The rule provides that the term "control" (including the terms "controlling," "controlled by" and "under common control with") means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of management and the policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise. The SEC has stated that an individual's status as a director, officer, or 10% shareholder is one fact which must be taken into consideration in determining affiliate status (See American Standard, October 11, 1972). In addition, under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, every person who is directly or indirectly the owner of more than 10 percent of any class of any equity security that is registered under the Exchange Act, or who is a director or an officer of the issuer of such security, must file statements setting forth the amount of all equity securities of such issuer of which the filing person is a beneficial owner. These individuals usually are considered affiliates."
