Every security of a home protection company issued or authorized to be issued prior to December 31, 1978, shall be valid even though it has been issued without a permit of the commissioner authorizing the same if, at the time of the issue or authorization, the security was qualified or exempt from qualification under the Corporate Securities Law of 1968 (Title 4, Division 1 of the Corporations Code).
Any sale, transfer, hypothecation, or other distribution of a security whose issuance is validated by this section, whether such transaction takes place before or after the effective date of this section is not prohibited by the provisions of this article.
