Suit to recover such profit may be instituted at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction by the company or by the owner of any security of the company in the name and on behalf of the company if the company fails or refuses to bring such suit within sixty days after written request or fails diligently to prosecute the same thereafter; but no such suit shall be brought more than two years next after the filing with the commissioner of the report showing that the profit was realized. This section shall not be construed to cover any transaction where such beneficial owner was not such both at the time of the purchase and sale, or the sale and purchase, of the security involved, or any transaction or transactions which the commissioner by regulations may exempt as not comprehended within the purpose of this section.
