3of the existence and authority of the bank to do business. Upon
4the issuance of the charter by the Commissioner, the bank
5shall be deemed fully organized and may proceed to do
6business. The Commissioner may, in the Commissioner's
7discretion, withhold the issuing of the charter when the
8Commissioner has reason to believe that the bank is organized
9for any purpose other than that contemplated by this Act. The
10Commissioner shall revoke the charter and order liquidation in
11the event that the bank does not commence a general banking
12business within one year from the date of the issuance of the
13charter, unless a request has been submitted, in writing, to

15approved. After commencing a general banking business, a bank
16may change its name by filing written notice with the
17Commissioner at least 30 days prior to the effective date of
18such change. A bank chartered under this Act may change its
19main banking premises by filing written notice application
20with the Commissioner, on forms prescribed by the
21Commissioner, provided (i) the change shall not be a removal
22to a new location without complying with the capital
23requirements of Section 7 and of subsection (1) of Section 10
24of this Act; and (ii) the Commissioner approves the relocation
25or change; and (iii) the bank complies with any applicable
26federal law or regulation. The application shall be deemed to

 

 

HB5428 Engrossed- 29 -LRB103 38790 RTM 68927 b

1be approved if the Commissioner has not acted on the
2application within 30 days after receipt of the application,
3unless within the 30-day time frame the Commissioner informs
4the bank that an extension of time is necessary prior to the
5Commissioner's action on the application.
6    (b)(1) The Commissioner may also issue a charter to a bank
7that is owned exclusively by other depository institutions or
8depository institution holding companies and is organized to

10financial institutions, their holding companies, and the
11officers, directors, and employees of such institutions and
12companies, and in providing services at the request of other
13financial institutions or their holding companies (also
14referred to as a "bankers' bank"). The bank may also provide
15products and services to its officers, directors, and
16employees.
17    (2) A bank chartered pursuant to paragraph (1) shall,
18except as otherwise specifically determined or limited by the
19Commissioner in an order or pursuant to a rule, be vested with
20the same rights and privileges and subject to the same duties,
21restrictions, penalties, and liabilities now or hereafter
22imposed under this Act.
23    (c) A bank chartered under this Act shall, at all times
24while it accepts or retains deposits, maintain with the

2    (d)(i) A bank that has a banking charter issued by the
3Commissioner under this Act may, pursuant to a written
4purchase and assumption agreement, transfer substantially all
5of its assets to another State bank or national bank in
6consideration, in whole or in part, for the transferee banks'
7assumption of any part or all of its liabilities. Such a
8transfer shall in no way be deemed to impair the charter of the
9transferor bank or cause the transferor bank to forfeit any of
10its rights, powers, interests, franchises, or privileges as a
11State bank, nor shall any voluntary reduction in the
12transferor bank's activities resulting from the transfer have
13any such effect; provided, however, that a State bank that
14transfers substantially all of its assets pursuant to this
15subsection (d) and following the transfer does not accept
16deposits and make loans, shall not have any rights, powers,
17interests, franchises, or privileges under subsection (15) of
18Section 5 of this Act until the bank has resumed accepting
19deposits and making loans.
20    (ii) The fact that a State bank does not resume accepting
21deposits and making loans for a period of 24 months commencing
22on September 11, 1989 or on a date of the transfer of
23substantially all of a State bank's assets, whichever is
24later, or such longer period as the Commissioner may allow in
25writing, may be the basis for a finding by the Commissioner
26under Section 51 of this Act that the bank is unable to

9own stock belonging to a bank shall not be voted, directly or
10indirectly, at any meeting and shall not be counted in
11determining the total number of outstanding shares at any
12given time, but shares of its own stock held by it in a
13fiduciary capacity may be voted and shall be counted in
14determining the total number of outstanding shares at any
15given time. A stockholder may vote either in person or by proxy

2thereof may be in excess of par value. This right shall be
3transferable but shall terminate if not exercised within 60
4days of the offer, unless the Commissioner shall authorize a
5shorter time. If the right is not exercised, the stock shall
6not be re-offered for sale to others at a lower price without
7the stockholders of the same class again being accorded a
8preemptive right to subscribe at the lower price.
9Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this paragraph (4) or
10any other provision of law, stockholders shall not have any
11preemptive or other right to subscribe for or to purchase or
12acquire shares of capital stock issued or to be issued under a
13stock-option plan or upon conversion of preferred stock or

8to vote at a meeting of stockholders, or stockholders entitled
9to receive payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of a

13    apparent under the circumstances and without knowledge
14    that would cause such reliance to be unreasonable.

3        Fund shall be reimbursed for those payments made on

15        State Treasurer and Comptroller to transfer a
16        specified sum not exceeding 10% of the revenues to be
17        deposited into the Bank and Trust Company Fund during
18        that fiscal year from that Fund to the General Revenue
19        Fund in order to help defray the State's operating

4        under this Section as soon as may be practicable after
5        receiving the direction to transfer from the Governor.
6            (d-1) Adequate funds shall be available in the
7        Bank and Trust Company Fund to permit the timely
8        payment of administration expenses. In each fiscal
9        year the total administration expenses shall be
10        deducted from the total fees collected by the
11        Commissioner and the remainder transferred into the
12        Cash Flow Reserve Account, unless the balance of the
13        Cash Flow Reserve Account prior to the transfer equals
14        or exceeds one-fourth of the total initial
15        appropriations from the Bank and Trust Company Fund
16        for the subsequent year, in which case the remainder
17        shall be credited to State banks and foreign banking
18        corporations and applied against their fees for the
19        subsequent year. The amount credited to each State
20        bank and foreign banking corporation shall be in the
21        same proportion as the Call Report Fees paid by each
22        for the year bear to the total Call Report Fees
23        collected for the year. If, after a transfer to the
24        Cash Flow Reserve Account is made or if no remainder is
25        available for transfer, the balance of the Cash Flow
26        Reserve Account is less than one-fourth of the total

1        initial appropriations for the subsequent year and the
2        amount transferred is less than 5% of the total Call
3        Report Fees for the year, additional amounts needed to
4        make the transfer equal to 5% of the total Call Report
5        Fees for the year shall be apportioned among, assessed
6        upon, and paid by the State banks and foreign banking
7        corporations in the same proportion that the Call
8        Report Fees of each, respectively, for the year bear
9        to the total Call Report Fees collected for the year.
10        The additional amounts assessed shall be transferred
11        into the Cash Flow Reserve Account. For purposes of
12        this paragraph (d-1), the calculation of the fees
13        collected by the Commissioner shall exclude all fees
14        collected pursuant to the Student Loan Servicing
15        Rights Act, the Foreign Banking Office Act, and the
16        Foreign Bank Representative Office Act and the
17        receivership fees provided for in Section 5-10 of the

6    nor to limit in any way the powers of the Commissioner with
7    reference to examinations and reports of that bank.
8        (5) The nature and condition of the assets in or
9    investment of any bonus, pension, or profit sharing plan
10    for officers or employees of every State bank or, after

12    deemed to be included in the affairs of that State bank or
13    branch of an out-of-state bank subject to examination by
14    the Commissioner under the provisions of subsection (2) of
15    this Section, and if the Commissioner shall find from an
16    examination that the condition of or operation of the
17    investments or assets of the plan is unlawful, fraudulent,
18    or unsafe, or that any trustee has abused his trust, the
19    Commissioner shall, if the situation so found by the
20    Commissioner shall not be corrected to his satisfaction
