The order effectively upheld a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) order revoking EPCIBank’s amendments to its by-laws which prevented competitors from getting into the bank’s board of directors.


According to the SEC, the amended by-laws would disenfranchise the majority shareholders of the bank and deprive them of their right to participate in internal affairs.
