(B) Unless a licensee meets the requirements of paragraph (A) of this rule, the following are not considered to be management level licensees:

(1) Any licensee who has an ownership interest in the brokerage with which the licensee is affiliated, unless acting in a manner that is calculated to influence or have an effect on a real estate transaction, other than a transaction in which the licensee is a direct participant.
