The conversion of a bank into a stock association, stock savings bank, or national banking association shall not release the bank from its obligations to pay and discharge either of the following:
(a)All the liabilities created by law or incurred by the bank before becoming a stock association, stock savings bank, or a national banking association.
(b)Any tax imposed by this state up to the date of its becoming a stock association, stock savings bank, or national banking association in proportion to the time that has elapsed since the last preceding payment or assessment, penalty, or forfeiture imposed or incurred up to the date of its becoming a stock association, stock savings bank, or a national banking association.
(2)A conversion shall not be made to defeat or defraud any of the creditors of the bank.
(3)A certified copy of all resolutions relating to the proposed conversion adopted by the directors and shareholders of the bank shall be submitted to the bureau. If consent or approval is required by federal law, the bank shall provide the bureau with a certified copy of consent or approval of the appropriate federal regulator to the conversion.
