In the ABC-140, Non-Retail License Applicant section, it says “hold any ownership, directly or indirectly, in any retail license,” “owed by such retail licensee.” “in California or elsewhere”, but is my understanding correct that this application form is referring to only “within the US market" and not "markets outside of US"? For example, if the shareholder of the applicant had interest in a liquor license holder in other countries, do we have to take this into consideration when answering this question? I supposed not, because I understand that this question is meant to check if there are any “tied-house restriction” issues in the US market.
