Official statutory text
Whenever an association organized under this Part with preferred capital stock shall purchase the stock or any property, or any interest in any property, of any person, firm, corporation, or association, it may discharge the obligations incurred, wholly or in part, by exchanging for the acquired interest shares of its preferred capital stock to an amount which at par value would equal a fair market value of the stock or interest purchased, as determined by the board of directors. In that case the transfer to the association of the stock or interest purchased shall be equivalent to payment in cash for the shares of stock issued.
