(3) its acquisition of:

(A) a bank or company organized under the laws of the United States or of any state and operating under Section 25 or Section 25(a) of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended (12 U.S.C. 601 through 604a or 12 U.S.C. 611 through 631);  or

(B) a bank or bank holding company that was organized under the laws of a foreign country, that is principally engaged in business outside the United States, and that either has no banking office in the United States or has banking offices in the United States that are engaged only in business activities permissible for a bank or corporation operating under Section 25 or 25(a) of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended.
