20 (c) Beneficial interests. Each holder of any beneficial
21 interest in the land, including without limitation beneficial
22 interests in a land trust, must be disclosed, including both

27 disclosed. This requirement continues at each level of
28 holders of beneficial interests until all beneficial
29 interests of all individuals in all entities, other than
30 entities whose shares are publicly traded, have been
