B. Without approval by the Board, no asset shall be carried on
the books of the resulting bank at a valuation higher than that on
the books of the constituent bank or savings association at the time
of the last examination by a state or national bank examiner or
savings association examiner before the effective date of the
merger.
C. Within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Board of the
fee and papers specified in subsection A of this section, the Board
shall approve or disapprove the merger and the merger agreement.
The Board shall approve the merger and the merger agreement if it
appears that:
1. The resulting state bank meets all the requirements of state
law as to the formation of a new state bank;
2. The agreement provides an adequate capital structure
including surplus in relation to the deposit liabilities of the
resulting state bank and its other activities which are to continue
or are to be undertaken;
3. The agreement is fair; and
4. The merger is not contrary to the public interest.
If the Board disapproves a merger or a merger agreement, it
shall state its objections and give an opportunity to the
constituent banks or savings associations to amend the merger
agreement to obviate such objection. The Board may by rule
establish a procedure whereby the State Banking Commissioner may
grant approval of the merger or merger agreement without a hearing
before the Board. The procedure shall include criteria set by the
Board to be applied by the Commissioner in the consideration of the
application.
D. Where the resulting state bank is not to exercise trust
powers, the Board shall not approve a merger until satisfied that
adequate provision has been made for successors to fiduciary
positions held by constituent banks or savings associations, and the
manner of succession of trust powers and successor trustees shall
follow the same procedure as set out in Section 1018 of this title.
