§ 45-2-1307. Conversion of national into state bank.

Except as provided in § 45-2-1310, a national bank located in this state that follows the procedure prescribed by the laws of the United States to convert into a state bank may be granted a state charter by the commissioner if the commissioner finds that each office of the national bank is legally in operation, that the resulting state bank will have an adequate capital structure, including surplus, in relation to its deposit liabilities and its other activities, not less than the capital structure required for a new state bank, and that the officers and directors of the resulting bank are persons of sound judgment and discretion. The national bank may apply for the charter by filing with the commissioner: A certificate signed by its president and cashier and by a majority of the entire board of directors, setting forth the corporate action taken in compliance with the laws of the United States governing the conversion of a national to a state bank; and The plan of conversion and the proposed articles of incorporation approved by the stockholders, for the operation of the bank as a state bank.
