Permanent capital stock.
A. The charter of an association may provide for the issuance of permanent capital
stock. Except as provided in the Savings and Loan Act, no other form or type of stock or
shares shall be issued by an association. When issued, permanent capital stock shall
not be retired or withdrawn, except as provided in the Savings and Loan Act, until after
all liabilities of the association have been satisfied in full, including the withdrawal value
of all savings accounts. Such stock must be fully paid for in cash in advance of
issuance, and the association shall not make any loans against the shares of such
stock. The shares may have a par value of not less than one dollar ($1.00) nor more
than one hundred dollars ($100) each.
B. At the time of commencing business, an association authorized to issue
permanent capital stock shall have issued and outstanding an amount thereof equal in
par value to the following minimum amounts, based on the total population of the area
in which its principal office is to be located:

association may provide for the issuance of such stock, upon being authorized to do so
by a majority vote of the members entitled to vote at any annual meeting of its members
or at any special meeting of its members called for the purpose. The basis of such
retirement or issuance shall first be approved by the supervisor, who shall satisfy
himself that all provisions of the Savings and Loan Act have been complied with and
written consent to such retirement by the agency insuring the accounts of the
association has been filed with the supervisor.
D. The provisions of this section are not retroactive with respect to associations
established or approved by the director of the financial institutions division prior to the
effective date of the Savings and Loan Act.
