RS 613 - Subsidiaries

A. Except as otherwise provided by this Chapter or rules adopted under this Chapter, a trust company may acquire or establish a subsidiary to conduct any activity that may lawfully be conducted through the form of organization chosen for the subsidiary.

B. A trust company may not invest more than an amount equal to fifteen percent of its capital in a single subsidiary and may not invest an amount in excess of its capital in all subsidiaries. The amount of a trust company's investment in a subsidiary is the total amount of the trust company's investment in equity or investment securities issued by its subsidiary and any loans and extensions of credit from the trust company to its subsidiary. The commissioner may authorize investments in excess of these limitations upon written application, if the commissioner concludes that the excess investment is not prohibited by other applicable law, and the safety and soundness of the trust company is not adversely affected.

C. A trust company may acquire or establish a subsidiary or begin performing new activities in an existing subsidiary only with the prior written approval of the commissioner. The request to establish the subsidiary or exercise new activities in a subsidiary shall be filed on a form prescribed by the commissioner and accompanied by any applicable fee as established by rule.

D. A subsidiary of a trust company is subject to regulation by the commissioner to the extent provided by this Chapter or rules adopted under this Chapter. In the absence of limiting rule or regulation, the commissioner may regulate a subsidiary as if it were a trust company.
