(a) With the prior written approval of the Bank Commissioner, any state trust company may, at any time, through action of its board, and without requiring action of its shareholders, issue and sell its capital notes or debentures, which must be subordinate to the claims of depositors and may be subordinate to other claims, including the claims of other creditors or classes of creditors or the shareholders.
(b) Capital notes or debentures may be convertible into shares of any class or series. The issuance and sale of convertible capital notes or debentures are subject to satisfaction of preemptive rights, if any, to the extent provided by law.
(c) Without the prior written approval of the commissioner, interest due or principal repayable on outstanding capital notes or debentures may not be paid by a state trust company when the state trust company is in hazardous condition or insolvent, as determined by the commissioner, or to the extent that payment will cause the state trust company to be in hazardous condition or insolvent.
(d) The amount of any outstanding capital notes or debentures that meet the requirements of this section and are subordinated to unsecured creditors of the state trust company may be included in equity capital of the state trust company for purposes of determining hazardous condition or insolvency, and for such other purposes as may be provided by regulations adopted under this chapter.
