Effect of unauthorized investments
Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) If a
savings bank makes a loan or other investment that is not authorized under this subchapter, it shall be due and payable according
to its terms and the obligation of the loan is not impaired.
(2) A director or officer of a savings bank may not knowingly
participate in or assent to, or knowingly permit an officer, employee or agent of the savings bank to make, an investment that is
not authorized by this subchapter.
(3) The division may require a director or officer of a savings
bank who knowingly participates in or assents to, or who knowingly permits an officer, employee or agent of the savings bank to
make, an investment that is not authorized by this subchapter to
obtain an indemnity bond, insurance, or collateral sufficient to
indemnify the savings bank against damages that the savings
bank may sustain as a result of the investment. If an unauthorized
investment, the amount considered sufficient to indemnify the
savings bank shall be the difference between the book value and
the market value of the investment at the time the division determines that the investment is unauthorized. If an unauthorized
loan, the amount considered sufficient to indemnify the savings
bank shall be the difference between the book value of the loan
and the amount of the loan that could have been made under this
subchapter. If an unauthorized investment is sold or disposed of
without recourse, the division shall release all or part of the indemnity after deducting any loss. If the balance of an unauthorized loan is reduced to an amount that would permit the loan to
be made under this subchapter, the indemnity shall be released.
In making a determination under this subsection, the division
may order an independent appraisal at the savings bank’s
expense.
