"¢ National Paper Products, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nationwide Foods, Inc.

"¢ Century Enterprises, a local company owning several local restaurants, is a longtime bank customer and frequently makes deposits in excess of $10,000. All of
Century's stock is owned by a local family. Which of these customers would qualify as an exempt person?

Answer options

• A. All except for Nationwide Foods, Inc.
• B. All except for National Paper Products
• C. All except for Century Enterprises
• D. All except for Products Incorporated

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because Products Incorporated, being a regional company listed on NASDAQ Capital Markets, does not meet the criteria for exempt persons. The other companies mentioned either have national recognition or are owned by families, which could qualify them as exempt.
