No officer or director of a bank or trust company, employee of the department, or employee of a state or federal regulatory authority shall release any information contained in the examination, except when:

Reports of examination released to outside persons providing professional services to the bank or for the purpose of evaluating the bank for possible acquisition, shall require a written request from such outside persons and prior approval by the board of directors or an executive committee of the bank.

(2) The department may furnish to and exchange information and reports with officials and examiners of other properly authorized state or federal regulatory authorities, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
