ARIN will consider requests for the transfer of number resources in the
case of mergers, acquisitions, and reorganizations under the following
conditions:

• The current registrant must not be involved in any dispute as to the status of the resources to be transferred.
• The new entity must sign an RSA covering all resources to be transferred.
• The resources to be transferred will be subject to ARIN policies.
• The minimum transfer size is the smaller of the original allocation size or the applicable minimum allocation size in current policy.
• The Internet number resources being transferred as part of a transfer under section 8.2 will not be subject to a needs-based assessment during the process of the transfer.

AND one or more of the following:

• The recipient must provide evidence that it has acquired the assets that use the resources to be transferred from the current registrant.

OR

• The recipient must show that it has acquired the entire entity which is the current registrant.

An organization which serves as the source of an IPv4 under section 8.2 will not be allowed to apply for IPv4 address space under section 4.1.8 ARIN Waitlist for a period of 36 months following said transfer unless the recipient organization remains a subsidiary, parent company, or under common ownership with the source organization.

Mergers, acquisitions, and reorganization activity resulting in the surviving entity ceasing to have a real and substantial connection with the ARIN region shall be permitted to continue holding any numbering resources issued (directly or indirectly) by ARIN prior to the merger, acquisition or reorganization activity, but shall not qualify for any additional numbering resources (directly or indirectly) from ARIN, unless and until it once again has a real and substantial connection with the ARIN region as required by the Numbering Resource Policy Manual.
