The Federal Reserve System has received applications from individuals who want to acquire shares of a bank or bank holding company under the Change in Bank Control Act. These applications are public and can be inspected at specific Federal Reserve Banks or the Board of Governors' offices. The public can submit comments on these applications by February 25, 2021, to the addresses provided, including electronic submissions. One application involves Jeremy Francis Gilpin and Jeffrey Alan Smith seeking to acquire shares as a group in Community Bankshares, Inc., and its subsidiaries in Georgia and Alabama.
Simple Explanation
The Federal Reserve got a request from some people who want to buy parts of a bank to help it grow, and they are letting everyone know so people can say what they think by a certain date.
