Whenever one or more state international or foreign banking or financing corporations and one or more international or foreign banking or financing corporations organized under the laws of the United States have been merged or consolidated, the surviving or resulting international or foreign banking or financing corporation succeeds without other transfer to all the rights and property of each constituent international or foreign banking or financing corporation and is subject to all the debts and liabilities of each such constituent corporation in the same manner as if the surviving or resulting international or foreign banking or financing corporation had incurred them.
All rights of creditors of each constituent international or foreign banking or financing corporation are preserved unimpaired, limited in lien to the property affected by such liens immediately prior to the time of the consolidation or merger.
Any action or proceeding pending by or against any one of the constituent international or foreign banking or financing corporations may be prosecuted through judgment, which binds the resulting or surviving international or foreign banking or financing corporation; or such consolidated or surviving corporation may be proceeded against or substituted in the place of any such constituent corporation.
