1 AN ACT concerning certain financial institutions,
2 amending named Acts.
3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4 represented in the General Assembly:
5 Section 5. The Illinois Banking Act is amended by
6 changing Section 18 and adding Sections 21.2 and 21.3 as
7 follows:
8 (205 ILCS 5/18) (from Ch. 17, par. 325)
9 Sec. 18. Change in control.
10 (a) Before a change may occur in the ownership of
11 outstanding stock of any State bank, whether by sale and
12 purchase, gift, bequest or inheritance, or any other means,
13 including the acquisition of stock of the State bank by any
14 bank holding company, which will result in control or a
15 change in the control of the bank or before a change in the
16 control of a holding company having control of the
17 outstanding stock of a State bank whether by sale and
18 purchase, gift, bequest or inheritance, or any other means,
19 including the acquisition of stock of such holding company by
20 any other bank holding company, which will result in control
21 or a change in control of the bank or holding company, or
22 before a transfer of substantially all the assets or
23 liabilities of the State bank, the Commissioner shall be of
24 the opinion and find:
25 (1) that the general character of its proposed
26 management, after the change in control, is such as to
27 assure reasonable promise of successful, safe and sound
28 operation;
29 (1.1) that depositors' interests will not be
30 jeopardized by the purchase or assumption and that
31 adequate provision has been made for all liabilities as
-2- LRB9005184JSgc
1 required for a voluntary liquidation under Section 68 of
2 this Act;
3 (2) that the future earnings prospects, after the
4 proposed change in control, are favorable;
5 (3) that any prior involvement by the persons
6 proposing to obtain control, to purchase substantially
7 all the assets, or to assume substantially all the
8 liabilities of the State bank or by the proposed
9 management personnel with any other financial
10 institution, whether as stockholder, director, officer or
11 customer, was conducted in a safe and sound manner; and
12 (4) that if the acquisition is being made by a bank
13 holding company, the acquisition is authorized under the
14 Illinois Bank Holding Company Act of 1957.
15 (b) Persons desiring to purchase control of an existing
16 state bank, to purchase substantially all the assets, or to
17 assume substantially all the liabilities of the State bank
18 shall, prior to that purchase, submit to the Commissioner:
19 (1) a statement of financial worth;
20 (2) satisfactory evidence that any prior
21 involvement by the persons and the proposed management
22 personnel with any other financial institution, whether
23 as stockholder, director, officer or customer, was
24 conducted in a safe and sound manner; and
25 (3) such other relevant information as the
26 Commissioner may request to substantiate the findings
27 under subsection (a) of this Section.
28 As used in this Section, the term "control" means the
29 ownership of such amount of stock or ability to direct the
30 voting of such stock as to give power to, directly or
31 indirectly, direct or cause the direction of the management
32 or policies of the bank. A change in ownership of stock
33 which would result in direct or indirect ownership by a
34 stockholder, an affiliated group of stockholders or a holding
-3- LRB9005184JSgc
1 company of less than 10 percent of the outstanding stock
2 shall not be considered a change of control. A change in
3 ownership of stock which would result in direct or indirect
4 ownership by a stockholder, an affiliated group of
5 stockholders or a holding company of 20 percent or such
6 lesser amount which would entitle the holder by applying
7 cumulative voting to elect one director shall be presumed to
8 constitute a change of control for purposes of this Section
9 18. If there is any doubt as to whether a change in the
10 ownership or control of the outstanding stock is sufficient
11 to result in obtaining control thereof or to effect a change
12 in the control thereof, such doubt shall be resolved in favor
13 of reporting the facts to the Commissioner.
14 As used in this Section, "substantially all" the assets
15 or liabilities of a State bank means that portion of the
16 assets or liabilities of a State bank such that their
17 purchase or transfer will materially impair the ability of
18 the State bank to continue successful, safe, and sound
19 operations or to continue as a going concern or would cause
20 the bank to lose its federal deposit insurance.
21 (b-1) Any person who obtains ownership of stock of an
22 existing State bank or stock of a holding company that
23 controls the State bank by gift, bequest, or inheritance such
24 that ownership of the stock would constitute control of the
25 State bank or holding company may obtain title and ownership
26 of the stock, but may not exercise management or control of
27 the business and affairs of the bank or vote his or her
28 shares so as to exercise management or control unless and
29 until the Commissioner approves an application for the change
30 of control as provided in subsection (b) of this Section.
31 (c) Whenever a state bank makes a loan or loans,
32 secured, or to be secured, by 25% or more of the outstanding
33 stock of a state bank, the president or other chief executive
34 officer of the lending bank shall promptly report such fact
-4- LRB9005184JSgc
1 to the Commissioner upon obtaining knowledge of such loan or
2 loans, except that no report need be made in those cases
3 where the borrower has been the owner of record of the stock
4 for a period of one year or more, or the stock is that of a
5 newly organized bank prior to its opening.
6 (d) The reports required by subsections (b) and (c) of

18 case of a loan, the name of the borrower, the amount of the
19 loan, the name of the bank issuing the stock securing the
20 loan and the number of shares securing the loan. In addition
21 to the foregoing, such reports shall contain such other
22 information which is requested by the Commissioner to inform
23 the Commissioner of the effect of the transaction upon
24 control of the bank whose stock is involved.
25 (d-1) The reports required by subsection (b) of this
26 Section 18 that relate to purchase of assets and assumption
27 of liabilities shall contain the following information to the
28 extent that it is known by the person making the report: (1)
29 the value, amount, and description of the assets transferred;
30 (2) the amount, type, and to whom each type of liabilities
31 are owed; (3) the names of the purchasers (or transferees);
32 (4) the names of the beneficial owners if the shares of a
33 purchaser or transferee are registered in another name; (5)
34 the purchase price, if applicable; and, (6) in the case of a

4 these reports shall contain any other information that is

8 (e) Whenever such a change as described in subsection
9 (a) of this Section 18 occurs, each state bank shall report
10 promptly to the Commissioner any changes or replacement of
11 its chief executive officer or of any director occurring in

14 affiliations of the new chief executive officer or directors.
15 (f) (Blank).
16 (g) (1) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
17 subsection (g), the Commissioners shall not approve an
18 application for a change in control if upon consummation
19 of the change in control the persons applying for the
20 change in control, including any affiliates of the
21 persons applying, would control 30% or more of the total
22 amount of deposits which are located in this State at
