(a) This subchapter shall not apply to the formation of new banks and trust companies, the merger of existing banks or trust companies or to the formation of bank holding companies or savings and loan holding companies or the acquisition by bank holding companies or savings and loan holding companies of Delaware banks and trust companies which otherwise require application to and approval by the Commissioner. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, the Commissioner may approve the change of control of any Delaware chartered bank or trust company upon determining that the Delaware chartered bank or trust company is in default or in danger of default; provided, however, that the Delaware chartered bank or trust company has not been caused to be in default or in danger of default for the specific purpose of engaging in a change of control transaction pursuant to this subsection. For purposes of this subsection, the term "in danger of default" with respect to a Delaware chartered bank or trust company means that in the opinion of the Commissioner, the Delaware chartered bank or trust company is not likely to be able to meet the demands of its depositors or pay its obligations in the normal course of business and there is no reasonable prospect that it will be able to meet such demands or pay such obligations without assistance, or the Delaware chartered bank or trust company has incurred or is likely to incur losses that will deplete all or substantially all of its capital and there is no reasonable prospect that its capital will be replenished without assistance.
