§ 5718 Stock Issuance After Conversion

In the event stock is to be issued by the converted association, the commissioner may issue an organizing permit to the federal association or to the board of directors elected to serve after conversion, authorizing the association or the board of directors to take subscriptions to stock, to collect subscription payments and to impound the payments pending the issuance of stock, and authorizing the converted association to issue stock after the filing of its articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State. The commissioner may require that all stock to be initially issued be subscribed and fully paid. The commissioner may also issue a certificate of authority to the converted association to be effective upon filing of its articles of incorporation, and may also issue any other orders and permits necessary to authorize the association to continue business without interruption upon the filing of its articles of incorporation. (Added by Stats. 1983, Ch. 1091, Sec. 2.)
