The Subsidiary will not provide insurance brokerage, securities brokerage, or human resources services as part of its above-described consulting services. We have reviewed the Bank’s notice of such a subsidiary as noted above and the Department does not object to the formation of [redacted], pursuant to the provisions of Section 201(c) of the Banking Code of 1965, as amended.
