Copy as parenthetical citation

(a) The department may, upon conditions approved by it, surrender possession of a financial institution in receivership at any time prior to final liquidation and distribution under the following circumstances:

(1) It may surrender possession to the financial institution itself when it finds the institution to be in a safe and sound condition to resume its business; or

(2) It may surrender to the financial institution itself or to any other corporation or person possession of all or part of the business, property, moneys, credits, or other assets of the financial institution in receivership, to permit to be carried into effect a special plan of liquidation, reorganization, or rehabilitation under the requirements of this Code section.

(b) Before the department may surrender possession of any of the assets of a financial institution pursuant to a special plan of liquidation, such plan shall have been approved by the principal court and a majority of creditors (including depositors) of the institution, both as to number of creditors and as to the amount of claims.

(c) Before the department may surrender possession of any of the assets of a financial institution pursuant to a special plan of reorganization or rehabilitation, such plan shall have the same approvals as required under subsection (b) of this Code section and, in addition, shall be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares entitled to vote thereon.

(d) Whenever the department shall surrender possession under this Code section, it shall forthwith file with the principal court a supplement to the certificate of possession, setting forth in detail all the conditions and purposes of such surrender. This supplement shall be indexed in a manner which will, insofar as necessary, satisfy the prior record of the certificate of possession.

(e) Whenever the department shall, under this Code section, surrender possession of the entire business and property of a financial institution in receivership, it shall file in the principal court an account, which shall correspond to any other final account under this chapter. Such account shall be subject to exceptions by shareholders, or depositors, or other creditors, and to confirmation by the court, in the same manner as is provided by this chapter for any account filed by the department as receiver.
