Article 2. Conservation Or Liquidation Of An Insured Licensee of California Financial Code >> Division 1. >> Chapter 7. >> Article 2.

If the licensee whose property and business has been taken pursuant to Section 592 is insured by a Federal Insurance Agency, the commissioner may tender to the appropriate Federal Insurance Agency an appointment as conservator, liquidator, or receiver of the licensee. The commissioner shall determine whether the licensee whose property and business has been taken shall be liquidated or conserved. If the Federal Insurance Agency accepts the appointment, the Federal Insurance Agency shall have, in addition to any powers conferred by applicable federal law, the powers conferred on the commissioner pursuant to this chapter.
The Federal Insurance Agency may be, and act as, a conservator, liquidator, or receiver without bond.
If the Federal Insurance Agency accepts the appointment in accordance with Section 620, the rights of customers and other creditors of the insured licensee shall be determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the laws of this state.
The Federal Insurance Agency conservator, liquidator, or receiver shall possess with respect to the insured licensee all the powers, rights, and privileges given the commissioner under this article with respect to the conservation or liquidation of a licensee, as appropriate, and the property and assets of which he or she has taken possession, except insofar as the same may be in conflict with the provisions of applicable federal law.
(a) The commissioner may sell to any other licensee any part or the whole of the business of a licensee that is subject to liquidation or conservatorship. The purchase and sale shall be approved by the purchasing licensee, as follows:
  (1) If the purchasing licensee is organized under the laws of this state, by two-thirds of all of its directors.
  (2) If the licensee is any licensee other than a licensee organized under the laws of this state, in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction under which the licensee is organized.
  (b) (1) Subject to any applicable federal statutes and regulations, any bank or credit union organized under the laws of this state may, with the approval of two-thirds of all of its directors, purchase from the receiver of a national banking association or a federal credit union the whole or any part of the business of the national banking association or federal credit union.
  (2) Subject to any applicable federal statutes and regulations and any applicable laws of the jurisdiction under which a foreign corporation is organized, any foreign corporation or office of a foreign corporation that is licensed by the commissioner to transact business in this state and that is authorized to accept shares or deposits in this state, may purchase from the receiver of a national banking association or federal credit union the whole or any part of the business of the national banking association or federal credit union.
  (c) The provisions of Chapter 12 (commencing with Section 1200) and Chapter 13 (commencing with Section 1300) of Division 1 of Title 1 of the Corporations Code shall not apply to any purchase and sale of the type described in subdivision (a) or (b).
  (d) When a purchase and sale of the type described in subdivision (a) or (b) becomes effective, the licensee shall, ipso facto and by operation of law and without further transfer, substitution, act, or deed, to the extent provided in the agreement of the purchase and sale or in the order of the court approving the purchase and sale and except as withheld or limited by the agreement or by the order:
  (1) Succeed to the rights, obligations, properties, assets, investments, shares, deposits, demands, and agreements of the licensee whose business is sold, subject to the right of every customer of a licensee to withdraw his or her shares or deposit in full on demand after the sale, irrespective of the terms under which the share or deposit was made.
  (2) Succeed to the rights, obligations, properties, assets, investments, shares, deposits, demands, and agreements of the licensee whose business is sold under all trusts, executorships, administrations, guardianships, conservatorships, agencies, and other fiduciary or representative capacities, to the same extent as though the purchasing licensee had originally assumed, acquired, or owned the same, subject to the rights of trustors and beneficiaries under the trusts so sold to nominate another or succeeding trustee of the trust so sold after the sale.
  (3) Succeed to and be entitled to take and execute the appointment to executorships, trusteeships, guardianships, conservatorships, and other fiduciary and representative capacities to which the licensee whose business is sold is or may be named in wills, whenever probated, or to which it is or may be named or appointed by any other instrument.
  (e) For purposes of subdivision (d), any purchase and sale of the type referred to in subdivision (d) shall be deemed to be effective at the time provided in the agreement of the purchase and sale or in the order of the court approving the purchase and sale.
