§ 4950 Corporate Conversion Rights Transfer

When a conversion becomes effective: (a) The converting depository corporation shall cease to exist. (b) The resulting depository corporation shall succeed, without other transfer, to all the rights and property of the converting depository corporation and shall be subject to all the debts and liabilities of the converting depository corporation in the same manner as if the resulting depository corporation had itself incurred them. (c) All rights of creditors of the converting depository corporation and all liens upon the property of the converting depository corporation shall be preserved unimpaired, provided that such liens upon the property of the converting depository corporation shall be limited to the property affected thereby immediately prior to the time when the conversion becomes effective. (d) Any action or proceeding pending by or against the converting depository corporation may be prosecuted to judgment, which shall bind the resulting depository corporation, or the resulting depository corporation may be proceeded against or substituted in place of the converting depository corporation. (e) Any reference to the converting depository corporation in any writing, whether executed or taking effect before or after the conversion, shall be deemed a reference to the resulting depository corporation if not inconsistent with the other provisions of such writing. (f) In case the converting depository corporation was transacting trust business, the resulting depository corporation shall succeed, without further transfer, to the rights, obligations, properties, assets, investments, deposits, demands, agreements, and trusts of the converting depository corporation under all trusts, executorships, administrations, guardianships, agencies, and all other fiduciary or representative capacities to the same extent as if the resulting depository corporation had originally assumed such fiduciary or representative capacities, and the resulting depository corporation shall be entitled to take and execute the appointment to all executorships, trusteeships, guardianships, and other fiduciary or representative capacities to which the converting depository corporation is or may be named in wills, whenever probated, or to which the converting depository corporation is or may be named or appointed by any other instrument. (Added by Stats. 1982, Ch. 1411, Sec. 3.)
