GLC holds international § 214 authority for global resale service. rior to a stock issuance that occurred on October 6, 2014, no shareholder or entity had a fifty r sent or greater ownership interest in GLC, either directly or indirectly. On October 6, 2014, 4 : Michigan, as well as other GLC shareholders, purchasedshares from GLC, and as a result of ce Michigan‘s stock purchase on this date it became the holder of approximately 51%ofthe c mon stock of, and thereby acquired a controlling interest in, GLC. Applying 47 CFR 63.03(c .) (footnote 1) and 47 CFR 63.09(b) (second sentence), as of October 6, 2014, ATA, as the pa it company of Ace Michigan is also deemed to have acquired a controlling interest in GLC a: result of Ace Michigan‘s stock acquisition.
