The director of the | 0023| division may designate a director to fill a vacancy that has | 0024| continued for longer than three months, and a director so | 0025| designated shall serve until a successor is elected and has | 0001| qualified. | 0002| | 0003| E. A director may be removed by the stockholders at a | 0004| meeting. Where cumulative voting for directors is provided in | 0005| the articles of incorporation, no director shall be removed | 0006| unless the votes cast against a motion for his removal are less | 0007| than the total number of shares outstanding divided by the number | 0008| of authorized directors, but all of the directors shall be | 0009| removed if a majority of the outstanding shares approves a motion | 0010| for the removal of all. | 0011| | 0012| F. The officers designated by the bylaws shall be | 0013| elected by the board [of directors]. A member of the board | 0014| [of directors] shall be elected president. Officers shall be | 0015| elected or a contract executed for their employment in accordance | 0016| with the bylaws of the bank. An officer may be removed by the | 0017| board [of directors] at any time, but removal shall not | 0018| prejudice any rights that he may have to damages for breach of | 0019| contract of employment. | 0020| | 0021| G. A bank shall report promptly to the director of | 0022| the division any changes among executive officers and directors, | 0023| including in its report a statement of the business and | 0024| professional affiliations of new executive officers and | 0025| directors."". | 0001| | 0002| 2.
