`DISCLOSURE OF CORPORATE AFFILIATIONS
`AND FINANCIAL INTEREST
`
`(a) Parties Required to Make Disclosure. With the exception of the United States
`government or agencies thereof or a state government or agencies or political subdivisions thereof,
`all parties and amici curiae to a civil or bankruptcy case, agency review proceeding, or original
`proceedings, and all corporate defendants in a criminal case shall file a corporate affiliate/financial
`interest disclosure statement. A negative report is required except in the case of individual criminal
`defendants.
`
`(b) Financial Interest to Be Disclosed.
`
`(1) Whenever a corporation that is a party to an appeal, or which appears as amicus
`curiae, is a subsidiary or affiliate of any publicly owned corporation not named in the appeal, counsel
`for the corporation that is a party or amicus shall advise the clerk in the manner provided by
`subdivision (c) of this rule of the identity of the parent corporation or affiliate and the relationship
`between it and the corporation that is a party or amicus to the appeal. A corporation shall be
`considered an affiliate of a publicly owned corporation for purposes of this rule if it controls, is
`controlled by, or is under common control with a publicly owned corporation.
`
`(2) Whenever, by reason of insurance, a franchise agreement, or indemnity agreement,
`a publicly owned corporation or its affiliate, not a party to the appeal, nor an amicus, has a substantial
`financial interest in the outcome of litigation, counsel for the party or amicus whose interest is aligned
`with that of the publicly owned corporation or its affiliate shall advise the clerk in the manner provided
`by subdivision (c) of this rule of the identity of the publicly owned corporation and the nature of its or
`its affiliate's substantial financial interest in the outcome of the litigation.
`
`(c) Form and Time of Disclosure. The disclosure statement shall be made on a form
`provided by the clerk and filed with the brief of a party or amicus or upon filing a motion, response,
`petition, or answer in this Court, whichever first occurs.
