PART II. CONVERSIONS
§361. National bank converting into state bank
A.(1) A national bank domiciled in this state which complies with the procedure prescribed by the laws of the United States for the conversion of a national bank into a state bank may be granted a certificate of authority by the commissioner if he finds that the requirements for the incorporation of a state bank have been met.
(2) Any requirements that shares of stock must be paid in cash may be satisfied by the exchange of shares of stock of the new state bank for those of the converting national bank. The procedures applicable to incorporation of a state bank may be modified to the extent made necessary by the difference between an ordinary incorporation and a conversion.
B.(1) The national bank may apply for a certificate of authority by filing with the commissioner:
(a) A certificate signed by its president and cashier and by a majority of the board of directors setting forth the corporate action taken in compliance with the provisions of the laws of the United States governing the conversion of a national bank into a state bank; and
(b) The plan of conversion and the proposed articles of incorporation approved by the stockholders for the operation of the bank as a state bank.
(2) Additionally, the certificate of authority and the articles of incorporation are to be filed with the recorder of mortgages in the parish of domicile of the state bank as provided in R.S. 6:217.
