Are You an Affiliate? You are an "affiliate" of the issuer if you have "control." Rule 144 defines "`affiliate' of an issuer" as any "person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such issuer." While Rule 144 fails to define "control," Rule 405 of Regulation C establishes a definition of "affiliate" identical to that of Rule 144 and defines "control" as "the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise." The Issue is simply are you, or you and others acting in concert, in sufficient "control" of the company to become "affiliates."
