Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

A. Except as provided in Subsection B of this section, a company may not acquire a New Mexico state bank or a New Mexico bank holding company without the prior approval of the director unless federal law expressly permits the acquisition without that approval.

B. The prohibition of Subsection A of this section does not apply if the acquisition is made:

(1) solely for the purpose of facilitating an acquisition otherwise permitted pursuant to the Interstate Bank Acquisition Act;

(2) in a transaction arranged by the director or another bank supervisory agency to prevent the insolvency or closing of the acquired bank; or

(3) in a transaction in which a bank forms its own bank holding company, if the ownership rights of the former bank shareholders are substantially similar to those of the shareholders of the new bank holding company.

C. In a transaction for which the director's approval is not required under this section, the acquiring company shall give written notice to the director at least ninety days before the effective date of the acquisition unless a shorter period of notice is required under applicable federal law.
