As part of the continued restructuring process of mergers, the Department of Business Oversight is now changing processes to be in line with the banking side.
- Process: All applications will go to the legal department for review and comment
- Legal: We have seen a complete review (overhaul?) of the process, procedure and forms
- Forms: Each form, even if previously submitted, will likely result in changes
- Technical issues: Three (3) original Certificates of Merger are now required as well as a new filing step with the DBO after the member vote (but before filing with the California Secretary of State).
