A. A bank holding company which has control over a company operating as a bank in some jurisdiction, but not in this state, may acquire all, substantially all or such lesser portion as the director deems reasonable of the assets and liabilities of a bank operating in this state, but only if all the following conditions are met: (1) the federal deposit insurance corporation has been appointed the receiver for the bank whose assets and liabilities are to be acquired; (2) the federal deposit insurance corporation requests the bids for the assets and liabilities of the bank from institutions operating as banks in New Mexico or bank holding companies controlling an institution operating as a bank in New Mexico and the majority of which company's assets are located in New Mexico or from any qualified individuals and upon opening those bids finds none has met the minimum bid requirements set by the corporation; and (3) after the federal deposit insurance corporation finds that the conditions of Paragraph (2) of this subsection have been met, it then requests and opens the bids of bank holding companies described at the beginning of this subsection and any supplemental bids of the bank holding companies, institutions and qualified individuals described in Paragraph (2) of this subsection, and finds that the bid of a bank holding company described at the beginning of this subsection is the highest bid. B. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 58-5-3 NMSA 1978, an institution operating as a bank in New Mexico may establish a branch or branches outside the county in which the institution is located for the purpose of acquiring assets and liabilities pursuant to this section. If these branches are approved, the institution shall be deemed located both in the county where the institution is located and in the county where the new branches are located for purposes of Section 58-5-3 NMSA 1978. C. After the federal deposit insurance corporation has been appointed the receiver for a bank, the director may waive any procedural requirements, including any time periods but not including any fees, in the granting of permission to file articles of incorporation. The director may also temporarily waive any substantive requirement in the granting of permission to file articles of incorporation, other than those relating to financial or managerial capability, for a reasonable time as determined by the director. Failure to comply with any substantive requirement within the time set by the director shall make the applicant liable to the state at a rate of one thousand dollars ($1,000) per day of noncompliance. The director may institute a civil action in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover all or any portion of such sums owed.
