A credit union may elect to dissolve voluntarily and liquidate its affairs in the
manner prescribed in this section.
The board of directors shall adopt a resolution recommending the credit union
be dissolved voluntarily, and directing that the question of liquidation be
submitted to the members.
Within ten (10) days after the board of directors decides to submit the question
of liquidation to the members, the president shall notify the commissioner and
any government agency or other organization insuring member accounts
thereof in writing, setting forth the reasons for the proposed liquidation. Within
ten (10) days after the members act on the question of liquidation, the
president shall notify the commissioner and any government agency or other
organization insuring member accounts in writing as to the action of the
members on the proposal.
As soon as the board of directors decides to submit the question of liquidation
to the members, payments on shares, share certificates, deposits, deposit
certificates, withdrawal of shares, making any transfer of shares to loans and
interest, making investments of any kind, and granting loans shall be
suspended pending action by members on the proposal to liquidate. On
approval by the members of such proposal, all such business transactions shall
be permanently discontinued. Necessary expenses of operation shall,
however, continue to be paid on authorization of the board of directors or
liquidating agent during the period of liquidation.
For a credit union to enter voluntary liquidation, approval by a majority of the
members in writing or by a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the members present at
a regular or special meeting of the members is required. Where authorization
for liquidation is to be obtained at a meeting of the members, notice in writing
shall be given to each member, by first class mail, at least ten (10) days prior to
such meeting.
A liquidating credit union shall continue in existence for the purpose of
discharging its debts, collecting on loans and distributing its assets, and doing
all acts required in order to wind up its business and may sue and be sued for
the purpose of enforcing such debts and obligations until its affairs are fully
concluded.
The board of directors or the liquidating agent shall use the assets of the credit
union to pay: first, expenses incidental to liquidation including any surety bond
that may be required; second, any liability due non-members; third, deposits
and deposit certificates as provided in this subtitle. Assets then remaining shall
be distributed to the members proportionately to the shares held by each
member of the date dissolution was voted.
As soon as the board of directors or the liquidating agent determines that all
assets from which there is a reasonable expectancy of realization have been
liquidated and distributed as set forth in this section, they shall execute a
certificate of dissolution on a form prescribed by the commissioner and file it,
together with all pertinent books and records of the liquidating credit union, with
the commissioner, whereupon such credit union shall be dissolved.
