Article 8 - Bank Supervision.
§ 53C-8-14 - Supervisory control.

53C-8-14. Supervisory control.
(a) Whenever the Commissioner determines that a bank has insufficient capital and is conducting its business in an unsafe or unsound manner or in any fashion that threatens the financial integrity of the bank, the Commissioner may serve a notice of charges on the bank, requiring it to show cause why it should not be placed under supervisory control. The notice of charges shall specify the grounds for supervisory control and set the time and place for a hearing. A hearing before the Commissioner shall be held no earlier than seven days and no later than 15 days after issuance of the notice of charges.
(b) If, after the hearing provided in subsection (a) of this section, the Commissioner determines that supervisory control of the bank is necessary to protect the bank's customers, creditors, or the general public, the Commissioner shall issue an order taking supervisory control of the bank. The board of directors of the bank in office on the date of the issuance of the order may appeal the order of the Commissioner to the Commission pursuant to G.S. 53C-2-6 no later than 10 days after the date of the issuance of the order.
(c) The Commissioner may appoint an agent to supervise and monitor the operations of the bank during the period of supervisory control. During the period of supervisory control, the bank shall act in accordance with any instructions and directions as may be given by the Commissioner, directly or through the agent, and shall not act or fail to act except when to do so would violate an outstanding order of its federal bank supervisory agent or the FDIC if the FDIC is not its primary federal regulator.
(d) Within 180 days of the date of the order taking supervisory control, the Commissioner shall issue an order approving a plan for the termination of supervisory control on the 30th day following the issuance of the order. The plan may provide for the following:
(1) The issuance by the bank of debt instruments or shares.
(2) The appointment or removal of one or more officers and/or one or more directors.
(3) The reorganization or combination of the bank.
(4) A control transaction with respect to the bank.
(5) The dissolution and liquidation of the bank.
(e) The reasonable costs of the Commissioner under this section shall be paid by the bank. The Commissioner's determination of the costs shall be, in the absence of manifest error, dispositive of the issue of reasonableness. (2012-56, s. 4.)
