(1) The person is a purchaser to whom a security is delivered pursuant to section 42a-8-301; or
(2) The person acquires a security entitlement to the security pursuant to section 42a-8-501.
(b) A person acquires a financial asset, other than a security, or an interest therein, under this article, if the person acquires a security entitlement to the financial asset.

(d) Unless the context shows that a different meaning is intended, a person who is required by other law, regulation, rule or agreement to transfer, deliver, present, surrender, exchange or otherwise put in the possession of another person a security or financial asset satisfies that requirement by causing the other person to acquire an interest in the security or financial asset pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of this section.

See Sec. 42a-8-210 for successor provisions to Sec. 42a-8-104, revised to 1997, re overissue.
