Notwithstanding any other provision of this act or any other law, and notwithstanding any of the provisions of its Articles of Incorporation or by-laws, any bank may, with the approval of the Commissioner of Banks, and by vote of stockholders owning a majority of the stock of such bank, upon not less than two days notice given by registered mail pursuant to action taken at a meeting of its Board of Directors (which may be held upon not less than one days notice) issue preferred stock in such amount and with such par value as shall be approved by said Commissioner of Banks. A copy of the minutes of such directors and stockholders meetings, certified by the proper officer and under the corporate seal of the bank, and accompanied by the written approval of the Commissioner of Banks shall be immediately filed in the office of the Secretary of State, and when so filed, shall be deemed and treated as an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of such bank. No issue of preferred stock shall be valid until the par value of all stock so issued shall have been paid for in full in cash or in such manner as may be specifically approved by the Commissioner of Banks.
