the filing with the sec says Amcore Financial is no longer considered a bank holding company, but it doesn't say what it is considered to be. it's time for amcore financial to make a public statement as to what they are doing with their subsidiaries and what they are considered to be. may end up having to consult with a lawyer on this one...dust is still blowing around
