GR-4.3.5

The CBB will only permit financial institutions which are subject to effective consolidated supervision under a regulatory framework consistent with the Basel Core Principles, the IOSCO Principles or the IAIS Principles to become controllers with a holding of more than 20% of the voting capital of a licensee. Furthermore, the concerned regulated financial institution must satisfy the conditions in Paragraph GR-4.3.7 and also the specific conditions in Paragraph GR-4.3.8 below. A regulated financial institution will not be approved as a controller of a locally listed licensee if it wishes to acquire more than 40% of the voting capital. Subject to the discretion of the CBB, regulated financial institutions from reputable jurisdictions may be allowed to own or control holdings of voting capital of unlisted locally incorporated licensees in excess of the above mentioned 40% level.
