(c) The issuance of preferred or convertible preferred stock shall be authorized by the commissioner. The stock shall have the preferences, powers and rights the commissioner may approve. It shall not be retired without the approval of the commissioner, and the requirement of the approval shall be stated in the stock certificates, but the commissioner may give advance approval to sinking funds payable exclusively out of earnings available for dividends.
