Well, if we were using a dictionary definition of "significant" as used in normal English conversation, that would make sense :-) However, the SEC's definition is not related to the size of the company compared to its parent, or related to whether the parent company's employees start running the subsidiary company, or whether the company's activities are supporting the parent's key business areas. The SEC cares about what percentage of the subsidiary company is owned or controlled by the parent. And 84%, which appears to be the correct figure here, is much more than the minimum thresholds set out in the part of the regulations you helpfully quoted. But again, this is for you and the SEC to sort out :-) Gerv _______________________________________________ dev-security-policy mailing list dev-security-policy@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-security-policy
