(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) Any bank holding company which proposes to acquire control of a bank chartered in this state or a bank holding company which includes a bank chartered in this state, shall concurrently file with the commissioner copies of the application filed with the federal reserve board under applicable federal law. The commissioner shall approve such acquisition within ninety (90) days of acceptance of a complete application if the commissioner finds that: (a) The terms of the acquisition are in accordance with the laws of this state; (b) The financial condition, or the competence, experience, and integrity of the acquiring company or its principals are such as will not jeopardize the financial stability of the acquired bank or bank holding company; (c) The public convenience and advantage will be served by the acquisition; and (d) No federal regulatory authority whose approval is required has disapproved the transaction because it would result in a monopoly or substantially lessen competition. A nonrefundable fee shall accompany each application and shall be set by the commissioner in accordance with KRS 286.3-480. The commissioner may examine or elect to participate in a joint examination, with the applicable federal or state regulatory agency, of any holding company or nonbank subsidiary of the holding company that controls or is affiliated with a statechartered bank. The provisions of KRS 286.3-690 apply to the holding company or nonbank subsidiary of the holding company that controls or is affiliated with a statechartered bank. The commissioner may enter into cooperative agreements with federal or state regulatory authorities to examine an out-of-state bank that is controlled by a Kentucky bank holding company or is controlled by a bank holding company which includes a state-chartered bank, or accept reports of examinations of such out-ofstate banks from federal or state regulatory authorities in lieu of conducting examinations. The commissioner may enter into cooperative agreements with federal or state regulatory authorities to exchange confidential information and reports of examination relating to interstate acquisitions of banks and bank holding companies. The cost of an examination shall be assessed against and paid by the company examined. The assessment for the examination shall be calculated in the same manner as that used for bank examinations.
