Section 34-28-270 - Dissolution(1) Any association may, at any special meeting of the members or stockholders called to consider the action, terminate its existence in accordance with the provisions of this section upon a vote of more than a majority of the total number of votes of members or shareholders eligible to be cast at the meeting.(2) Upon the vote, three copies of a statement of interest to dissolve, which shall state the vote cast in favor of dissolution, must be filed with the Board, which shall examine the association, and, if it finds that the association is not in an impaired condition, it shall so note, together with its approval of the dissolution, upon all the copies of the certificate of dissolution. The Board shall place a copy in its permanent files, file a copy with the Secretary of State, and return the remaining copy to the parties who filed it.(3) Upon this approval, the association is dissolved and shall cease to carry on business but nevertheless shall continue as a corporate entity for the sole purpose of paying, satisfying, and discharging existing liabilities and obligations, collecting and distributing assets, and doing all other acts required to adjust, wind up, and dissolve its business and affairs.(4) The board of directors in office at the time of the vote of dissolution shall act as trustees for the liquidation. The board of directors shall proceed as quickly as may be practicable to wind up the affairs of the association and, to the extent necessary or expedient to that end, shall exercise all the powers of the dissolved association and, without prejudice to the general nature of this authority, may fill vacancies, elect officers, carry out contracts, make new contracts, borrow money, mortgage or pledge property, sell its assets at public or private sale, compromise claims in favor of or against the association, apply assets to the discharge of liabilities, distribute assets either in cash or in kind among savings account members of a mutual association or stockholders of a capital stock association according to their respective prorata interests after paying or adequately providing for the payment of other liabilities, and perform all acts necessary or expedient to the winding up of the association. All deeds or other instruments must be in the name of the association and executed by the president or a vice president and the secretary or an assistant secretary. The board of directors shall also have power to exchange or otherwise dispose of or put in trust all, substantially all, or any part of the assets, upon those terms and conditions and for that consideration as the board of directors may consider reasonable or expedient, and may distribute the consideration or the proceeds, trust receipts, or certificates of beneficial interest among the savings account members of a mutual association or stockholders of a stock association in proportion to their prorata interests. In the absence of fraud, any determination of value made by the board of directors for any of these purposes is conclusive.(5) The association, during the liquidation of the assets of the association by its board of directors, shall continue to be subject to the supervision of the Board, and the board of directors shall report the progress of the liquidation to the Board as the Board may require. Upon completion of the liquidation, the board of directors shall file with the Board a final report and accounting of the liquidation. The approval of the report by the Board shall operate as a complete and final discharge of the board of directors and each member or stockholder thereof in connection with the liquidation of the association. No dissolution or any action of the board of directors in connection with it shall impair any contract right between the association and any borrower to other person or persons or the vested rights of any member or savings account holder of the association.1985 Act No. 124, Section 1.
