				  Code Chapter 823. They provide notice of the information required and the
				  location the department expects to find it. In preparing any statement, notice,
				  or application, the text of the form need not be repeated so long as it is
				  clear to which matter the answer or material applies. Unless expressly provided
				  otherwise, if any item is inapplicable or the answer is in the negative, an
				  appropriate statement to that effect must be made. The forms specified in

				  also referred to in this subchapter as Forms A - F. Form A is also referred to
				  as the acquisition or divestiture statement, Form B as the registration
				  statement, Form C as the summary of changes to the registration statement, Form
				  D as prior notice of a transaction, Form E as a notice of dividend or
				  distribution, and Form F as an enterprise risk report. For use in accord with
				  §7.209(d) and (f) of this title,
