which perform editing, updating and reporting functions of two types of
data: (1) Name of an individual (or group of individuals acting in
concert) that owns or controls two or more banks or financial institutions
(including at least one national bank); and (2) information concerning
individual chain banks, such as; name and location, charter number,
charter type, date of last examination, percentage of outstanding stock
owned by controlling individual or group and, if applicable, name of
intermediate holding entity and percentage of it held by controlling
individual or group.
