The acquired person should do an 803.5(b) affidavit that says it has a good faith intention to complete any actions required to enable the acquisition of the non-corporate interests from interest holders.

Mike,

I have a questionregarding the form of affidavit required of the acquired person in an acquisition of non-corporateinterests from third parties.

Such an acquisitiondoes not appear to be subject to 801.30 because non-corporate interests rather than"voting securities" are being acquired. If so, this would mean an803.5(a) affidavit would not apply.

The acquired person,however, is not a party to a purchase agreement (although in this case it isaware of the agreement). Should it nevertheless submit an 803.5(b) affidavit?
