§160. Payment or delivery of abandoned property A. Upon filing the report required by R.S. 9:159, the holder of property presumed abandoned shall pay, transfer, or cause to be paid or transferred to the administrator the property described in the report as unclaimed, but if the property is an automatically renewable deposit, and a penalty or forfeiture in the payment of interest would result, the time for compliance is extended until a penalty or forfeiture would no longer result. B. If the property reported to the administrator is a security or security entitlement under Chapter 8 of Title 10 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950, the administrator is an appropriate person to make an endorsement, instruction, or entitlement order on behalf of the apparent owner to invoke the duty of the issuer or its transfer agent or the securities intermediary to transfer or dispose of the security or the security entitlement in accordance with Chapter 8 of Title 10 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950. C. If the holder of property reported to the administrator is the issuer of a certificated security, the administrator has the right to obtain a replacement certificate pursuant to R.S. 10:8-405, but an indemnity bond is not required. D. An issuer, the holder, and any transfer agent or other person acting on behalf of the issuer or holder pursuant to them in accordance with this Section is not liable to the apparent owner and shall be indemnified against claims of any person in accordance with R.S. 9:162.
