				  Probate Code section
				  16106 or
				  Corporations Code sections
				  5913 and

				  exceeding 75% of the value of all assets held by the charitable corporation or trust
				  at the time of the notice or at any time during the six-month period before

				  "substantially all" assets under either book value or fair market value.

				  structuring a single transaction into multiple transactions to avoid triggering the
				  75% threshold. If a transaction is part of or related to a series of transactions,
				  all of the related transactions shall be considered and analyzed as a single
				  transaction for purpose of giving notice. When determining whether a series of
				  transactions will be considered a single transaction for purposes of this section,
				  the Attorney General will consider the surrounding circumstances, including, but not
				  limited, to any of the following factors:
(1)
				  Whether the parties to the transaction are the same parties in another transaction,
				  or related to or affiliated with parties in another transaction;
(2) Whether the completion of one transaction is
				  conditioned upon the completion of another transaction;
(3) Whether the membership, officers, or governing
				  board of the charitable corporation or trust has taken any action to wind down or
				  dissolve the charitable corporation or trust; and
(4) Whether the liabilities of the charitable
				  corporation or trust significantly outweigh its assets.
