SECURITIES AND FUTURES (ASSOCIATED ENTITIES-NOTICE) RULES - SECT 2

Interpretation

(1) In these Rules, "CE number" (中央編號) means the central entity
identification number assigned by the Commission to a licensed person or a
registered institution which is shown, in relation to each licence or
registration, on the register maintained under section 136 of the Ordinance.

(2) Where an associated entity that becomes or ceases to be such associated
entity is an authorized financial institution, a requirement in these Rules
for it to provide particulars to the Commission shall not be construed as a
requirement to provide particulars relating to its business other than that of
receiving or holding client assets of any intermediary of which it is an
associated entity.
