5 Del. C. § 795E: Merger with resulting out-of-state national bank.

(a) Existing Delaware banks may merge with or into out-of-state banks to form a resulting out-of-state national bank. The action to be taken by a merging existing Delaware bank that is a Delaware state bank and its rights and liabilities and those of its stockholders shall be the same as those prescribed for national banks at the time of the action by the laws of the United States and not by the laws of this State, except that a vote of the holders of two thirds of each class of voting stock of a Delaware state bank shall be required for the merger, and that upon the merger of a Delaware state bank into a resulting out-of-state national bank the rights of dissenting stockholders of the merging Delaware state bank shall be the same as those specified in § 788 of this title.

(b) Upon the completion of the merger of an existing Delaware bank that is a Delaware state bank into a resulting out-of-state national bank, the certificate and charter of any such merging Delaware state bank shall automatically terminate.

(c) A resulting out-of-state national bank shall be considered the same business and corporate entity as each merging bank with all the property, rights, powers, duties and obligations of each merging bank, except as affected by the federal law and by the charter and bylaws of the resulting bank.
