Well, first, the assessment of any early withdrawal outside of an early withdrawal penalty of at least seven days' simple interest on amounts withdrawn within the first six days after deposit is really up to the bank regardless if an exception in footnote 1 applies.
The footnote applies if the customer through the merger would have for example, more than $250,000 in the combined institution. But again, it is bank option to waive the penalty.
