(a) In addition to the criteria set forth in G.S. 53-211(a) and (b) to be used by the Commissioner in reviewing applications for acquisitions of North Carolina banks and bank holding companies, the Commissioner shall:
(1) Apply the criteria which would be applied to a North Carolina bank holding company making an acquisition in another state by the regulatory authorities of the State in which the applicant has its principal place of business, as defined by G.S. 53-210(10); and
(2) Shall approve that application only if the Commissioner finds it meets those additional criteria.
(b) In the event that the state in which the applicant has its principal place of business has no criteria other than the criteria similar to those set forth in G.S. 53-211(a) and (b), the Commissioner shall approve that application only if he determines that:
(1) The proposed acquisition would be not detrimental to the safety and soundness of the applicant or of the North Carolina bank or bank holding company which applicant seeks to control or whose stock is to be acquired; and
(2) The applicant, its directors and officers, if applicable, and any proposed new directors and officers of the North Carolina bank or bank holding company which applicant seeks to control or whose stock is to be acquired, are qualified by character, experience and financial responsibility to control and operate a North Carolina bank.
