approval by Commissioner. A. Commissioner's approval required where transfer of stock jeopardizes interest of depositors - Banks and trust companies. Whenever, in the opinion of the Commissioner, the condition of any bank or trust company is such that any transfer of the capital stock of such bank or trust company would jeopardize the interest of its customers, the Commissioner shall promptly so notify in writing the board of directors and officers of such bank or trust company of the determination of the Commissioner and the same shall be forwarded by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and the Commissioner shall therein require that, when any shares of the capital stock of the bank or trust company are to be transferred on the books or records of the bank or trust company, the officer or officers proposing to make the transfer shall report in writing to the Commissioner such proposed transfer of stock. After such notice, no transfer thereof shall be made without first obtaining the written consent thereto of the Commissioner. B. Transfer of controlling interest - Banks. 1. Whenever a change occurs or is about to occur in the outstanding voting stock of any bank or bank holding company which will result in a change in the control of the bank or the bank holding company, the president or other chief executive officer of such bank or bank holding company, immediately upon obtaining such knowledge of such change in the control of the bank or bank holding company or such contemplated or consummated sale or transfer of such stock, shall report such facts to the Commissioner. 2. As used in this section, the term "control" means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policy of a bank or bank holding company. If there is any doubt as to whether a change in the ownership of the outstanding voting stock in any insured bank or bank holding company is sufficient to effect a change in the control thereof, such doubt shall be resolved in favor of reporting the facts to the Commissioner. 3. Notwithstanding paragraph 1 of subsection B of this section, a change in ownership of ten percent (10%) of the voting stock of a bank or bank holding company shall be reported as a change of control to the Commissioner. C. Reporting transfers required. No officer of any bank or trust company shall fail to report any transfer of stock to the Commissioner at the time the same is made, as required by this section.
