- Conditions - Amendment, alteration or revocation.
No association shall sell, offer for sale, negotiate for the sale of or take subscriptions for, or issue any of its permanent capital stock until it shall have first applied for and secured from the State Banking Commissioner a permit authorizing it to do so. Such application shall be in writing, be verified and be filed with the Commissioner. In such application the association shall set forth the names and addresses of its officers, the location of its main office and branch offices, an itemized account of its financial condition, the amount and character of its stock and shares, a copy of any prospectus or advertisement or other description of its stock to be distributed or published, a copy of all minutes of any proceedings of its directors, members or stockholders relating to or affecting the issue of such stock and such additional information concerning the association, its condition and affairs as the Commissioner may require.
Upon the filing of such application it shall be the duty of the Commissioner to examine it and the other papers and documents filed therewith. If the Commissioner finds that the proposed issue is such as will not mislead the public as to the nature of the investment or will not work a fraud upon the purchaser thereof, the Commissioner shall issue to the association a permit authorizing it to issue and dispose of its stock in such amounts as the Commissioner may in such permit provide.
Otherwise,
the Commissioner shall deny the application and notify the association in writing of the decision. Every permit shall recite in bold type that the issuance thereof is permissive only and does not constitute a recommendation or endorsement of the stock permitted to be issued. The Commissioner may impose conditions requiring the impoundment of the proceeds from the sale of such stock, limiting the expense in connection with the sale thereof, and such other conditions as the Commissioner may deem reasonable and necessary or advisable to insure the disposition of the proceeds from the sale of such stock in the manner and for the purposes provided in such permit.
The Commissioner may, from time to time, amend, alter or revoke any permit issued by the Commissioner or temporarily suspend the rights of such association under such permit. The Commissioner shall have the power to establish such rules as may be reasonable or necessary to carry out the purposes and provisions of this section. Added by Laws 1978, c. 168, § 35, eff.
