§ 55.

Reorganization. The Commissioner, while in possession and control of a state bank and its assets, after according such hearing to interested parties as he may determine and upon the order of the court, may propose a reorganization plan. Such reorganization plan shall become effective only (1) when the requirements of Section 56 shall have been satisfied, and (2) when, after reasonable notice of such reorganization, as the case may require (a) depositors and other creditors of such bank representing at least seventy-five per cent in amount of its total deposits and other liabilities as shown by the books of the bank, or (b) stockholders owning at least two-thirds of its outstanding capital stock as shown by the books of the bank, or (c) both depositors and other creditors representing at least seventy-five per cent in amount of the total deposits and other liabilities and stockholders owning at least two-thirds of its outstanding capital stock as shown by the books of the bank, shall have consented in writing to the plan of reorganization; provided, however, that claims of depositors or other creditors which will be satisfied in full on demand under the provisions of the plan of reorganization shall not be included among the total deposits and other liabilities of the bank in determining the seventy-five per cent thereof as above provided. When such reorganization becomes effective, all books, records, and assets of the bank shall be disposed of in accordance with the provisions of the plan and the affairs of the bank shall be conducted by its board of directors in the manner provided by the plan and under the conditions, restrictions, and limitations which may have been prescribed by the Commissioner. In any reorganization which shall have been approved and shall have become effective as provided herein, all depositors and other creditors and stockholders of such bank, whether or not they shall have consented to such plan of reorganization, shall be fully and in all respects subject to and bound by its provisions, and claims of all depositors and other creditors shall be treated as if they have consented to such plan of reorganization. A department, agency or political subdivision of this State holding a claim which will not be paid in full is authorized to participate in a plan of reorganization as any other creditor and shall be subject to and bound by its provisions as any other creditor.
