(a) A person that is solely a minority shareholder in a corporation;
(b) A member of a manager-managed limited liability company; and

(3) For the purposes of this section, factors the director may consider when determining if a business entity is operating substantially the same business as the employer include, but are not limited to, whether the business entity:
(a) Operates from the same physical location as did the employer owing the debt.
(b) Provides the same services or manufactures the same products as did the employer owing the debt.
(c) Has one or more of the same:
(A) Corporate directors or officers as did the employer owing the debt.
(B) Owners or holders of a direct or indirect interest in the employer as did the employer owing the debt.
(4) A reorganized business entity against which an amount is assessed under this section may appeal the assessment by filing with the director an application for hearing under ORS 657.683 within 20 days after the mailing of a written notice of the assessment to the last-known address of the reorganized business entity of record with the director.
