O.C.G.A. § 33-14-93: Unlawful sales of securities.

It shall be unlawful for any beneficial owner, director, or officer directly or indirectly to sell any equity security of such insurer if the person selling the security or his principal:

(1) Does not own the security sold;

(2) If owning the security, does not deliver it against such sale within 20 days thereafter; or

(3) Does not within five days after the sale deposit it in the mails or other usual channels of transportation;

but no person shall be deemed to have violated this Code section if he proves that notwithstanding the exercise of good faith he was unable to make the delivery or deposit within that time or that to do so would cause undue inconvenience or expense.
