(1) The licensee's form of legal organization is changed (e.g., a sole proprietor forms a partnership or corporation);
(2) The licensee transfers ownership of the assisted living facility business enterprise to another party regardless of whether ownership of some or all of the real property and/or personal property assets of the assisted living facility is also transferred;
(3) The licensee dissolves, or consolidates or merges with another legal organization and the licensee's legal organization does not survive;
(4) If, during any continuous twenty-four-month period, fifty percent or more of the "licensed entity" is transferred, whether by a single transaction or multiple transactions, to:
(a) A different person (e.g., new or former shareholders or partners); or
(b) A person that had less than a five percent ownership interest in the assisted living facility at the time of the first transaction.
(5) Any other event or combination of events that results in a substitution, elimination, or withdrawal of the licensee's control of the assisted living facility.
