Assuming the son is over 18, the father and son are separate UPEs.

If there is a reorg, the single parent would be the UPE. If not, each UPE would list its subs as acquired entities.

Subject: question re Section 1

We represent the acquired entities. It is a family owned business, owned by father and son. The business is divided among several subsidiaries, which are being acquired. In terms of the UPE, while I am still sorting that out, it appears that the father may be the controlling person for some subs, and the son for others. The father is the person filing the form. Does the son need to file separately? If not, is it sufficient to list the son, along with the father in section 2(a).

At this point there may be a reorganization to put the acquired entities into a single parent. In which case, in section 3(a), I should list the parent entity as the acquired UPE and the subsidiary entities as acquired entities. If it decided not to aggregate the subs into a new parent, then I will I intend to list each of the subs as acquired UPEs. Is that correct?
