その他政令で定める取引又は行為
A person that has become the holder of a number of voting rights in a single bank which is equal to or greater than the major shareholder threshold due to grounds other than a transaction or action set forth in the items of the preceding paragraph (other than the national government, etc., a bank holding company, or a specified holding company prescribed in Article 52-17, paragraph (2); hereinafter referred to as a "specified major shareholder" in this Article and Article 65) must take the measures required to be taken so that they will no longer be the holder of a number of voting rights in the bank which is equal to or greater than the major shareholder threshold by the last day of the one-year period that begins on the final day of the business year of the bank that includes the date on which the grounds arose (hereinafter referred to as the "last day of the grace period" in this paragraph and paragraph (4)); provided, however, that this does not apply if the specified major shareholder obtains the authorization by the Prime Minister to continue to be the holder of a number of voting rights in a bank which is equal to or greater than the major shareholder threshold even after the last day of the grace period.
前項各号に掲げる取引又は行為以外の事由により一の銀行の主要株主基準値以上の数の議決権の保有者になつた者（国等並びに銀行持株会社及び第五十二条の十七第二項に規定する特定持株会社を除く。以下この条及び第六十五条において「特定主要株主」という。）は、当該事由の生じた日の属する当該銀行の事業年度の終了の日から一年を経過する日（以下この項及び第四項において「猶予期限日」という。）までに銀行の主要株主基準値以上の数の議決権の保有者でなくなるよう、所要の措置を講じなければならない。ただし、当該特定主要株主が、猶予期限日後も引き続き銀行の主要株主基準値以上の数の議決権の保有者であることについて内閣総理大臣の認可を受けた場合は、この限りでない。
When a specified major shareholder ceases to be the holder of a number of voting rights in a bank which is equal to or greater than the major shareholder threshold through taking the measure under the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the shareholder must file a notification to that effect with the Prime Minster, without delay. The same applies if a specified major shareholder ceases to be the holder of a number of voting rights in a bank which is equal to or greater than the major shareholder threshold without taking that measure.
The Prime Minister may order a person that becomes the holder of a number of voting rights in a bank which is equal to or greater than the major shareholder threshold through a transaction or action set forth in one of the items of paragraph (1) without the authorization referred to in that paragraph, a company or other corporation that is incorporated as the holder of a number of voting rights in a bank which is equal to or greater than the major shareholder threshold without the authorization referred to in that paragraph, or a person that remains to be the holder of a number of voting rights in a bank which is equal to or greater than the major shareholder threshold even after the last day of the grace period without obtaining the authorization referred to in the proviso to paragraph (2), to take the measures required to be taken so that they will no longer be the holder of a number of voting rights in the bank which is equal to or greater than the major shareholder threshold.
