General Information and Instructions
Preparation and Use
This form is used to file notice to acquire control of a depository institution or a holding
company, pursuant to the Change in Bank Control Act, as amended (12 U.S.C. 1817(j)).
As used in this form, “holding company” means a bank holding company, a savings and
loan holding company, or other company that controls a depository institution. The
information must be submitted to the appropriate regulatory agency of the institution
whose shares are to be acquired. All inquiries on preparation of the notice should be
directed to that agency which, in some circumstances, may modify the information
requested.
The regulatory agency will review the submitted notice to determine if it is complete. If
the submitted notice is not complete, the regulatory agency may either request additional
information or it may return the notice. If the required information is not available,
please explain. When the notice is complete, the regulatory agency will confirm its
determination in writing. The questions are not intended to duplicate information
supplied on another form or in an exhibit; a cross-reference to the information is
acceptable. Any cross-reference must be made to a specific location in the documents, so
the information can be found easily. If additional space is needed to provide complete
answers, please attach additional sheets or exhibits.
For additional information regarding the processing procedures and guidelines, and any
supplemental information that may be required, refer to the appropriate regulatory
agency’s procedural guidelines (that is, Comptroller’s Licensing Manual, the FDIC’s
Rules and Regulations (12 CFR Part 303) and relevant policy statements, or the OTS’
Application Processing Handbook), contact the agency directly for specific instruction, or
visit its Web site at www.occ.treas.gov, www.fdic.gov, www.ots.treas.gov, or
www.federalreserve.gov.

Biographical and Financial Report
To assist the regulatory agencies in evaluating the factors specified in the Change in Bank
Control Act, an Interagency Biographical and Financial Report must be submitted for
each person named in the notice.
Supporting Information
The formal questions in the notice are not intended to limit the acquirer’s presentation,
and the regulatory agency may request additional necessary information. If any
information furnished in the notice changes materially during the processing of the notice
or prior to consummation, such changes should be communicated promptly to the
regulatory agency with which the notice was filed.
Compliance
The proposed acquirer is expected to comply with all representations and commitments
made in this notice.
Transactions subject to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976
(15 U.S.C. 18a), which applies to certain very large transactions, require a pre-merger
filing with the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice.
Notice of Publication
An acquirer must publish an announcement of the proposed acquisition in a newspaper of
general circulation in the community in which the head office of the depository
institution or holding company is located. In the case of a bank holding company, an
announcement also must be published in each community in which the head office of a
bank subsidiary of the holding company is located. A copy of the affidavit(s) of
publication should be submitted to the appropriate regulatory agency. Contact the
appropriate regulatory agency for the specific requirements of the notice of publication.
Confidentiality
Any acquirer desiring confidential treatment of specific portions of the notice must
submit a request in writing with the submission of the notice. The request must discuss
the justification for the requested treatment. An acquirer’s reasons for requesting
confidentiality should specifically demonstrate the harm (for example, loss of
competitive position, invasion of privacy) that would result from public release of
information (5 U.S.C. 552). Information for which confidential treatment is requested
should be: (1) specifically identified in the public portion of the notice (by reference to
the confidential section); (2) separately bound; and (3) labeled “Confidential.” An
acquirer should follow the same procedure for a request for confidential treatment for the
subsequent filing of supplemental information to the notice.
An acquirer should contact the appropriate regulatory agency for specific instructions
regarding requests for confidential treatment. The appropriate regulatory agency will
determine whether the information will be treated as confidential and will advise the
acquirer of any decision to publicly release information labeled as “Confidential.”
