524.1508 Restated articles of incorporation.
1. A state bank may at any time restate its articles of incorporation, which may be amended by the restatement, so long as its articles of incorporation as restated contain only such provisions as might be lawfully contained in original articles of incorporation at the time of making the restatement. Restated articles of incorporation shall be adopted in the following manner:
a. The board of directors shall adopt a resolution setting forth the proposed restated articles of incorporation, which may include an amendment or amendments to the articles of incorporation of the state bank to be made thereby, and directing that the restated articles, including such amendment or amendments, be submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders, which may be either an annual meeting or a special meeting.
b. Written or printed notice setting forth the proposed restated articles or a summary of the provisions of the proposed restated articles shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote on the proposed restated articles within the time and in the manner provided in section 524.533. If the meeting be an annual meeting, the proposed restated articles may be included in the notice of such annual meeting. If the restated articles include an amendment or amendments to the articles of incorporation, the notice shall separately set forth such amendment or amendments or a summary of the changes to be effected by the amendment or amendments.
c. At the meeting a vote of the shareholders entitled to vote on the proposed restated articles shall be taken on the proposed restated articles. The proposed restated articles shall be adopted upon receiving the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote, unless such restated articles include an amendment to the articles of incorporation which, if contained in a proposed amendment to articles of incorporation to be made without restatement of the articles of incorporation, would entitle a class of shares to vote as a class on the proposed restated articles, in which event the proposed restated articles shall be adopted upon receiving the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of each class of shares entitled to vote on the proposed restated articles as a class, and of the total shares entitled to vote on the proposed restated articles.
2. Upon approval, restated articles of incorporation shall be executed by the state bank by its president or vice president and by its cashier or an assistant cashier, and verified by one of the officers signing the restated articles, and shall set forth, as then stated in the articles of incorporation of the state bank and, if the restated articles of incorporation included an amendment or amendments to the articles of incorporation, as so amended, the material and contents described in section 524.302.
3. The restated articles of incorporation shall set forth also a statement that they correctly set forth the provisions of the articles of incorporation as amended, that they have been duly adopted as required by law and that they supersede the original articles of incorporation and all amendments to the original articles of incorporation.
4. The restated articles of incorporation shall be delivered to the superintendent together with the applicable fees for the filing and recording of the restated articles of incorporation. The superintendent shall conduct such investigation and give approval or disapproval, as provided in section 524.1505. If the superintendent approves the restated articles of incorporation, the superintendent shall deliver them with the written approval on the restated articles of incorporation to the secretary of state for filing, and the restated articles of incorporation shall be filed in the office of the county recorder. The secretary of state upon filing the restated articles of incorporation shall issue a restated certificate of incorporation and send the certificate to the state bank or its representative.
5. Upon the issuance of the restated certificate of incorporation by the secretary of state, the restated articles of incorporation including any amendment or amendments to the articles of incorporation are effective and supersede the original articles of incorporation and all amendments to the original articles of incorporation.
