Delaware Code Title 5. Banking § 795G. Authority for emergency mergers

Notwithstanding any other provision in this title, the Commissioner may approve the merger of a Delaware state bank with an out-of-state bank upon determining that the merging Delaware state bank is in default or in danger of default;  provided, however, that the merging Delaware state bank has not been caused to be in default or in danger of default for the specific purpose of engaging in a merger pursuant to this section.  For purposes of this section, the term “in danger of default” with respect to a Delaware state bank means that, in the opinion of the Commissioner, the Delaware state bank is not likely to be able to meet the demands of its depositors or pay its obligations in the normal course of business and there is no reasonable prospect that it will be able to meet such demands or pay such obligations without assistance, or the Delaware state bank has incurred or is likely to incur losses that will deplete all or substantially all of its capital and there is no reasonable prospect that its capital will be replenished without assistance.  The procedure for an emergency merger in accordance with this section with a resulting Delaware national bank, Delaware state bank, out-of-state national bank or out-of-state state bank shall be the same as provided in §§ 795C, 795D, 795E and 795F of this subchapter, respectively.
