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 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.
