Characterization of the numbers which satisfy the height reducing property

Let $α$ be a complex number. We show that there is a finite subset $F$ of the ring of the rational integers $\mathbb{Z}$, such that $F\left[ α\right] =\mathbb{Z}\left[ α\right]$, if and only if $α$ is an algebraic number whose conjugates, over the field of the rationals, are all of modulus one, or all of modulus greater than one. This completes the answer to a question, on the numbers satisfying the height reducing property, posed in [3].
