(1) at least 50 percent of those assets shall be removed from the investing entity's assets under management not later than the 270th day after the date the company receives notice under Section 2270.0204 or 2270.0205 or Subsection (b); and
(2) 100 percent of those assets shall be removed from the investing entity's assets under management not later than the 450th day after the date the company receives notice under Section 2270.0204 or 2270.0205 or Subsection (b).
(b) If a company that ceased scrutinized active business operations after receiving notice under Section 2270.0204 resumes scrutinized active business operations, the investing entity shall send a written notice to the company informing it that the entity will sell, redeem, divest, or withdraw all publicly traded securities of the scrutinized company according to the schedule in Subsection (a).
(c) An investing entity may delay the schedule for divestment under Subsection (a) only to the extent that the entity determines, in the entity's good faith judgment, that divestment from listed companies will likely result in a loss in value described by Section 2270.0208(a). If the entity delays the schedule for divestment, the entity shall submit a report to the presiding officer of each house of the legislature and the attorney general stating the reasons and justification for the entity's delay in divestment from listed companies. The report must include documentation supporting its determination that the divestment would result in a loss in value described by Section 2270.0208(a), including objective numerical estimates. The investing entity shall update the report every six months.
