Except that any real estate not necessary for the accommodation of the bank's or trust company's business shall be disposed of or charged off its books according to paragraph (2).

(b) Any bank or trust company may acquire real estate in satisfaction of any debts due it and may purchase real estate in satisfaction of any debts due it, and may purchase real estate at judicial sales, but no bank or trust company shall bid at any judicial sale a larger amount than is necessary to protect its debts and costs.

Any such extensions issued shall be reviewed by the commissioner on an annual basis.
