(205 ILCS 620/4A-1) Sec. 4A-1. Corporate fiduciaries establishing offices in other states. (a) A corporate fiduciary may act as a fiduciary or otherwise engage in fiduciary activities in this or any other state or foreign country, subject to complying with applicable laws of that state or foreign country, at an office established and maintained pursuant to this Act, at a branch, or at any location other than an office or branch. A corporate fiduciary seeking to establish or acquire a branch in another state or foreign country must comply with the notice provisions in Section 1-7 of this Act. (b) A corporate fiduciary may also conduct any activities at any office outside Illinois that are permissible for a trust institution chartered by the state where the office is located, except to the extent those activities are expressly prohibited by the laws of Illinois or by any regulation or order of the Commissioner. However, the Commissioner may waive any such prohibition if he determines, by order or regulation, that the involvement of out-of-state offices of state corporate fiduciaries in particular activities would not threaten the safety or soundness of those state corporate fiduciaries.

(205 ILCS 620/4A-5) Sec. 4A-5. Foreign corporations establishing places of business to conduct fiduciary activities in Illinois.(a) A foreign corporation may establish or acquire and maintain a place of business for the conduct of business as a fiduciary in this State provided that a corporate fiduciary that has its principal place of business in Illinois is permitted to establish or acquire and maintain a similar place of business that may engage in activities substantially similar to those permitted to foreign corporations under this Act in the state where the foreign corporation has its principal place of business. (b) A foreign corporation desiring to establish or acquire and maintain a place of business to conduct business as a fiduciary in Illinois under this Section shall provide, or cause its home state regulator to provide, written notice of the proposed transaction to the Commissioner on or after the date on which the foreign corporation applies to its home state regulator for approval to establish or acquire and maintain a place of business in Illinois. The filing of the notice shall be preceded or accompanied by a copy of the resolution adopted by the board authorizing the additional place of business and the filing fee required by the Commissioner. The Commissioner may prescribe the form of the notice required under this Section. In the Commissioner's discretion, the application or notice submitted to the foreign corporation's home state regulator may be sufficient notice under this Section. (c) A foreign corporation desiring to establish or acquire and maintain a place of business to conduct business as a fiduciary shall (i) confirm in writing to the Commissioner that for as long as it maintains a place of business in Illinois, it will comply with the laws of this State and (ii) provide satisfactory evidence to the Commissioner of compliance with any applicable requirements of state foreign corporation qualification laws and applicable requirements of its home state regulator for acquiring or establishing and maintaining the office. (d) A foreign corporation submitting a notice to the Commissioner in accordance with subsection (b) may commence fiduciary business at the place of business listed in its notice after the Commissioner approves the foreign corporation to conduct a fiduciary business in Illinois. However, if the foreign corporation is not a depository institution and the Commissioner approves the foreign corporation to conduct a fiduciary business in Illinois subject to specific conditions, the foreign corporation shall not commence a fiduciary business in Illinois until it has satisfied those conditions and provided evidence satisfactory to the Commissioner that it has done so. The Commissioner may deny approval of the notice if he finds that the foreign corporation lacks sufficient financial resources to undertake the proposed expansion without adversely affecting its safety or soundness or that the place of business is contrary to the public interest.

(205 ILCS 620/4A-10) Sec. 4A-10. Additional places of business for foreign corporations. A foreign corporation that establishes or acquires and maintains a place of business to conduct business as a fiduciary in Illinois pursuant to Section 4A-5 may establish or acquire additional trust offices or representative offices in this State to the same extent that a corporate fiduciary may establish or acquire additional offices in Illinois under Section 1-7 of this Act. (Source: P.A. 92-483, eff. 8-23-01.)

(205 ILCS 620/4A-15) Sec. 4A-15. Representative offices. A foreign corporation not conducting fiduciary activities may establish a representative office under the Foreign Bank Representative Office Act. At these offices, the foreign corporation may market and solicit fiduciary services and provide back office and administrative support to the foreign corporation's fiduciary activities, but it may not engage in fiduciary activities.

(205 ILCS 620/4A-20) Sec. 4A-20. Examination of foreign corporations. (a) To the extent consistent with subsection (c) of this Section, the Commissioner may make such examinations of any place of business established or maintained under Section 4A-5 by a foreign corporation as the Commissioner may deem necessary to determine whether the place of business is being operated in compliance with the laws of this State and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices. The provisions of Section 5-2 of this Act shall apply to the examinations. (b) The Commissioner may require periodic reports regarding any foreign corporation that has maintained a place of business in this State under Section 4A-5. The required reports shall be provided by the foreign corporation or by the home state regulator. Any reporting requirements prescribed by the Commissioner under this Section shall be consistent with Section 5-9 of this Act. (c) The Commissioner may enter into cooperative, coordinating, and information-sharing agreements with any other bank supervisory agencies or any organization affiliated with or representing one or more bank supervisory agencies with respect to the periodic examination or other supervision of any office in this State of a foreign corporation or any office of a corporate fiduciary in a host state. The Commissioner may accept a report of examination or report of investigation in lieu of the Commissioner conducting an examination or investigation. (d) The Commissioner may enter into contracts with any bank supervisory agency that has concurrent jurisdiction over a corporate fiduciary or foreign corporation maintaining a place of business under Section 4A-5 of this Act to engage the services of that agency's examiners at a reasonable rate of compensation or to provide the services of the Commissioner's examiners to that agency at a reasonable rate of compensation. (e) The Commissioner may enter joint examinations or joint enforcement actions with other bank supervisory agencies having concurrent jurisdiction over any place of business established under Section 4A-5 or any office of a corporate fiduciary in any host state. The Commissioner may at any time take such actions independently if the Commissioner deems such actions to be necessary or appropriate to ensure compliance with the laws of this State. However, in the case of a foreign corporation, the Commissioner shall recognize the exclusive authority of the home state regulator over corporate governance matters and the primary responsibility of the home state regulator over safety and soundness matters. (f) A foreign corporation that maintains one or more offices pursuant to Section 4A-5 may be assessed, and if assessed, shall pay supervisory and examination fees in accordance with Section 5-10 of this Act. The fees may be shared with other bank supervisory agencies or any organization affiliated with or representing one or more bank supervisory agencies in accordance with agreements between such parties and the Commissioner.

(205 ILCS 620/4A-25) Sec. 4A-25. Notice to Commissioner. A corporate fiduciary that maintains a place of business in this State under Section 4A-5, or the home state regulator of such foreign corporation, shall give at least 30 days prior written notice or, in the case of an emergency transaction, such shorter notice as is consistent with applicable state or federal law, to the Commissioner of: (1) any merger, consolidation, or other transaction

that would cause a change in control with respect to the foreign corporation or any bank holding company that controls the corporation;

(2) any transfer of all or substantially all of the

trust accounts or trust assets of the foreign corporation to another person; or

(3) the closing or disposition of any place of

business in this State.
