A transfer of stock shall be certified by an officer of the bank to the division within 3 days after the transfer, if the transfer is of at least 5 percent of the outstanding shares or affects the holdings of the owner of record or beneficial owner of at least 5 percent of the outstanding shares. A person who fails to comply with this certification requirement may be fined not more than $100.
