A. State bank conversion to national bank. Nothing in the law of this state shall restrict the right of a state bank to convert into a national bank upon compliance with the laws of the United States, and upon completion of such conversion it shall surrender its charter as a state bank.
B. National bank conversion to state bank. A national bank located in this state, which follows the procedure prescribed by federal law to convert into a state bank, shall be granted a state charter if it meets the requirements for the incorporation of a state bank and the standards and requirements set forth by rules and regulations of the Board. Any requirements that shares must be paid in cash may be satisfied by the exchange of shares of the converted state bank for those of the converting national bank, which may be valued at no more than their fair cash market value. The procedure for incorporation of a state bank may be modified to the extent made necessary by the difference between an ordinary incorporation and a conversion.
C. Preservation of identity and use of prior name. The converted bank shall be considered the same business and corporate entity as the converting bank with all of the rights, powers and duties of the converting bank except as limited by the charter and bylaws of the resulting bank. It may use the name of the converting bank whenever it can do any act under such name more conveniently.
D. Succession to fiduciary positions. Where a resulting state bank is not to exercise trust powers, the Board shall not approve a merger or conversion until satisfied that adequate provision has been made for successors to fiduciary positions held by the merging banks or the converting bank, and the manner of succession of trust powers and successor trustees shall follow the same procedure as set out in Section 1018 of this Code.
E. Continuation of corporate entity. Any reference to the converting bank in any writing, whether executed or taking effect before or after the conversion, shall be deemed a reference to the converted bank if not inconsistent with the other provisions of such writing.
