§ 58-1C-5. Interstate merger transactions and branching permitted
Official statutory text
A. One or more New Mexico banks may enter into an interstate merger transaction with one or more out-of-state banks pursuant to the Interstate Bank Branching Act, and an out-of-state bank resulting from the transaction may maintain and operate as branches in New Mexico the former New Mexico banks that participated in the transaction if the conditions and filing requirements of that act are met.
B. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this subsection, an interstate merger transaction is not permitted pursuant to the Interstate Bank Branching Act if, upon effecting the transaction, the resulting bank, including all insured depository institutions that would be affiliates, as defined in 12 U.S.C.A. Section 1841(k) , of the resulting bank, would result in an undue concentration of deposits totaling forty percent or more of the total deposits in all depository institutions in New Mexico. The director may by regulation adopt a procedure to waive the foregoing prohibition to prevent the insolvency or closing of a New Mexico state bank.
C. An interstate merger transaction resulting in the acquisition by an out-of-state bank of a New Mexico bank is not permitted pursuant to the Interstate Bank Branching Act, unless the New Mexico bank on the date of the acquisition has been in continuous operation under an active charter for a period of at least five years.
