If two businesses are owned by the same person, will they have the same experience modification?

Question: 
If two businesses are owned by the same person, will they have the same experience modification?
Answer: 

If two or more businesses are owned by the same person, or share more than 50 percent common ownership, then they will be combined for experience rating purposes. The payrolls and losses of all commonly owned businesses will be combined to compute a single experience modification, which will then be applied to all the commonly owned businesses. For experience rating purposes, commonly owned businesses may be insured on a single policy or on separate policies.
