  • restrictions
  • exceptions.

1.

Except as otherwise provided in this section, an out-of-state depository institution without a branch in Nevada, or an out-of-state holding company without a depository institution in Nevada, may acquire a Nevada depository institution and convert the institution to a branch of the out-of-state depository institution or depository institution of the out-of-state holding company. If the Nevada depository institution is chartered after September 28, 1995, the Nevada depository institution may be so acquired only if it has been in existence for at least 5 years.

2.

For the purposes of subsection 1:

(a)

A depository institution chartered solely for the purpose of acquiring another depository institution shall be deemed to have been in existence for the same period as the depository institution to be acquired, as long as the acquiring depository institution does not open for business at any time before the acquisition.

(b)

A bank that was originally chartered as a corporation or limited-liability company other than a depository institution shall be deemed to have been in existence for the period since a certificate of amendment of its articles of incorporation or organization was filed pursuant to NRS 659.035 to reorganize the corporation or limited-liability company as a bank.

(c)

A bank that was originally chartered as a Nevada depository institution other than a bank shall be deemed to have been in existence for the period since the original articles of incorporation or organization of the depository institution were filed with the Secretary of State.

(d)

If a Nevada depository institution becomes the successor in interest to the business of an out-of-state depository institution without a branch bank in this state that previously acquired a Nevada depository institution or to an out-of-state holding company without a branch bank in this state that previously acquired a Nevada depository institution, the Commissioner shall include the period of existence of the original Nevada depository institution when determining the period of existence of the successor Nevada depository institution.

3.

If the Commissioner considers it necessary to protect depositors, creditors and other customers of a failing depository institution or a failing holding company which controls a depository institution, the Commissioner may authorize the acquisition of the institution or company by, or its merger with, another institution or company regardless of the duration of existence of the failing depository institution or failing holding company.

4.

The restriction set forth in subsection 1 does not apply to an acquisition of, or merger between, affiliated depository institutions.
