2. may establish further branches only with the supervisory authority's consent, and
3. may not conduct, or may conduct only to a restricted extent, particular types of business, namely the acceptance of deposits, funds, or securities from customers, and the granting of loans under section 19(1). The supervisory authority is entitled to order measures under the first sentence in addition to a determination of increased own funds requirements under section 10(3), second sentence, point 2, and together with or in addition to a determination of increased own funds requirements under section 51a(2), point 4.
