(2) a company is not a bank holding company by virtue of its
ownership or control of shares that are acquired by the company
in connection with its underwriting of securities and that are held
only for such a period of time as will permit the sale of the shares
on a reasonable basis;
(3) a company formed for the sole purpose of participating in a
proxy solicitation is not a bank holding company by virtue of its
