Statute Text
Restated articles of incorporation.
(1) An institution or Oregon stock savings bank may adopt restated articles of
incorporation that become effective after approval and filing by the Director
of the Department of Consumer and Business Services. The restated articles of
incorporation may make any changes in the articles of incorporation that the
institution or Oregon stock savings bank could make by regularly adopting an
amendment. Adopting restated articles of incorporation amends the existing
articles of incorporation to conform to the restated articles of incorporation,
without further action of the board of directors or shareholders. Restated
articles of incorporation must state that the restated articles of
incorporation supersede the previously existing articles of incorporation and amendments
to the previously existing articles of incorporation. Restated articles of
incorporation must have all the statements that, under ORS 707.110, must be in
the original articles of incorporation, except a statement that lists the
initial principal place of business, the number or names of directors that
constitute the initial board of directors or the names of the incorporators.
(2) Except as
provided in subsection (3) of this section, restated articles of incorporation
that the director has approved and filed supersede the previously existing
articles of incorporation and amendments to the previously existing articles of
incorporation. The director shall, upon request, certify a copy of the articles
of incorporation, the articles of incorporation as restated or any amendments
to either the articles of incorporation or the restated articles of
incorporation.
(3) If the
restated articles of incorporation specify a delayed effective date, the
restated articles of incorporation are effective on the date specified. A
delayed effective date for restated articles of incorporation may not be later
than the 90th day after the date on which the institution or Oregon stock
savings bank executes and submits the restated articles of incorporation for
filing.
(4) An
institution or Oregon stock savings bank that submits restated articles of
incorporation for filing shall include a statement that the president or a vice
president and a cashier, secretary or assistant secretary execute in duplicate
and that sets forth:
(a) The name of
the institution or Oregon stock savings bank;
(b) The date on
which the shareholders adopted the restated articles of incorporation;
(c) The number of
shares outstanding and the number of shares entitled to vote for or against the
restated articles of incorporation, and, if the shares of any class are
entitled to vote as a class, the designation and number of outstanding shares
of each class that are entitled to vote for or against the restated articles of
incorporation.
(d) The number of
shares voted for and against the restated articles of incorporation,
respectively, and, if the shares of any class are entitled to vote as a class,
the number of shares of each such class voted for and against the restated
articles of incorporation, respectively.
(e) The manner in
which the institution or Oregon stock savings bank will exchange, reclassify or
cancel issued shares, if the restated articles of incorporation provide for an
exchange, reclassification or cancellation of issued shares but do not set forth
the manner for exchanging, reclassifying or canceling the issued shares. [1989
