(b) The notice shall offer the company the opportunity to clarify its Sudan-related, Iran-related, or designated foreign terrorist organization-related activities, as applicable, and shall encourage the company, not later than the 90th day after the date the company receives notice under this section, to either cease all scrutinized business operations as described by Sections 2270.0052, 2270.0102, and 2270.0152, or convert such operations to inactive business operations in order to avoid qualifying for divestment by investing entities.

(e) If, after the time provided by Subsection (b) expires, the listed company continues to have scrutinized active business operations, the investing entity shall sell, redeem, divest, or withdraw all publicly traded securities of the company, except securities described by Section 2270.0207, according to the schedule provided by Section 2270.0206.
