(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this subsection, an interstate merger transaction shall not be permitted under this part if:
(1) Immediately before the merger, any two or more banks involved in the transaction (including all insured depository institutions which are affiliates of any such bank) have a branch in this state; and
(2) Upon consummation of such transaction, the resulting bank (including all insured depository institutions that would be "affiliates," as defined in 12 U.S.C. Section 1841(k) of the resulting bank) would control 30 percent or more of the total amount of deposits held by all insured depository institutions in this state. The 30 percent limitation shall not apply, in the discretion of the commissioner, to transactions complying with paragraph (1) of subsection (b) of Code Section 7-1-623. The commissioner may by regulation adopt a procedure whereby the foregoing limitations on concentration of deposits may be waived upon showing good cause.
(b) An interstate merger transaction shall not be permitted under this part unless the Georgia bank shall have been in existence and continuously operating or incorporated as a bank on the date of such merger or acquisition for a period of at least three years, subject to any applicable exception contained in Code Section 7-1-608.
