Upon the approval of the Bank Commissioner, any state trust company may sell and transfer to any other trust institution, whether state or federally chartered, all of its assets of every kind upon such terms as may be agreed upon and approved by the commissioner and by a majority vote of its board of directors. A certified copy of the minutes of any meeting at which such an action is taken, attested by an officer of the trust company, together with a copy of the contract of sale and transfer, shall be filed with the commissioner. Whenever voluntary liquidation shall be approved by the commissioner or the sale and transfer of the assets of any state trust company shall be approved by the commissioner, the charter of the state trust company shall be canceled, subject, however, to its continued existence, as provided by this chapter and the general law relative to corporations.
