(a) In the event a qualified public depository not in default is merged into, acquired by, or consolidated with a bank or savings institution that is not a qualified public depository, the resulting institution shall become a qualified public depository, and the contingent liability of the former institution shall be a liability of the resulting institution. Within thirty (30) days after the effective date of the merger, acquisition or consolidation, the resulting institution shall execute in its own name and deliver to the state treasurer the contingent liability agreement required by § 9-4-510. If the resulting institution chooses not to remain a qualified public depository, it shall comply with the procedures for withdrawal from the collateral pool as provided in § 9-4-516.

(b) The qualified public depository shall notify the state treasurer of any acquisition or merger within three (3) days after the final approval of the acquisition or merger by its appropriate regulator.

(c) Collateral subject to a depository pledge agreement may not be released by the state treasurer or the custodian until the assumed liability is evidenced by the deposit of collateral pursuant to the depository pledge agreement of the successor entity. The reporting requirement and pledge of collateral will remain in force until the state treasurer determines that the liability no longer exists. The surviving or new qualified public depository shall be responsible and liable for all of the liabilities and obligations of each qualified public depository merged with or acquired by it.

(d) Each qualified public depository shall report any change of name and address to the state treasurer on a form provided by the state treasurer, regardless of whether the name change is a result of an acquisition or merger. Notification must be made within three (3) days of such change.
