Conversion to public trust company
Official statutory text
A. A private trust company may terminate its status as a private trust company and commence transacting business with the general public upon compliance with this Section. A private trust company desiring to commence transacting business with the general public shall file a notice on a form prescribed by the commissioner, which shall set forth the name of the private trust company and an acknowledgment that any exemption granted or otherwise applicable to the private trust company pursuant to this Part shall cease to apply on the effective date of such notice, furnish a copy of the resolution adopted by the board authorizing the private trust company to commence transacting business with the general public, and pay the filing fee, if any, prescribed by the commissioner.
B. The trust company may commence transacting business with the general public on the thirty-first day after the date the commissioner receives the notice, unless the commissioner specifies an earlier or later date. The thirty-day period of review may be extended by the commissioner upon a determination that the written notice raises issues that require additional information or additional time for analysis. If the period for review is extended, the trust company may commence transacting business with the public only on prior written approval by the commissioner.
C. The commissioner may deny a private trust company's request to commence transacting business with the general public if the commissioner finds that the private trust company lacks sufficient financial resources to undertake the proposed expansion without adversely affecting its safety or soundness, or that the proposed transacting of business with the general public would be contrary to the public interest, or if the commissioner determines that the private trust company will not, within a reasonable period of time, be in compliance with any provision of this Chapter from which the private trust company had been previously exempt.
