(c) If a corporation, the name of the state under which it is incorporated with its principal place of business and the names and addresses of its directors and stockholders.
(d) The location of the facility where it desires to conduct simulcast dog racing, provided, however, the location of such facility must be a place at which live dog racing was conducted in 2008 and the operator of such facility was licensed by the lottery commission in 2010 to accept pari-mutuel wagers on simulcast races pursuant to RSA 284:22-a.
(e) Whether or not the facility is owned or leased, and if leased, the name and residence of the fee owner, or if a corporation, of the directors and stockholders thereof.

III. The lottery commission shall have the power to require, at the applicant's or holder's expense, that any financial information provided under paragraphs I and II be verified by an audit performed by a certified public accountant. The lottery commission shall have the further power to require that as a condition of securing a license or of continuing to hold a license the license applicant or holder make available its books and records to permit the lottery commission to perform such independent auditing or financial analysis as the lottery commission may deem necessary. In so doing, the lottery commission may employ certified public accountants and any other financial analysts or investigators necessary to perform auditing and may bill the license applicant or holder for all costs associated with the auditing.

VI. In the event that a simulcast signal of dog racing is unavailable for an applicant under this section for any reason or cause, such applicant may apply for a license to simulcast horse racing only under this section and the lottery commission may issue such a license under RSA 284:16-a allowing the applicant to simulcast horse racing only.
