362.275. Monthly meeting of board — review of certain transactions — unanimous consent agreements permitted, when. —
1. The board of directors of every bank and trust company organized or doing business pursuant to this chapter shall hold a regular meeting at least once each month, or, upon application to and acceptance by the director of finance, at such other times, not less frequently than once each calendar quarter as the director of finance shall approve, which approval may be rescinded at any time. There shall be submitted to the meeting a list giving the aggregate of loans, discounts, acceptances and advances, including overdrafts, to each individual, partnership, corporation or person whose liability to the bank or trust company has been created, extended, renewed or increased since the cut-off date prior to the regular meeting by more than an amount to be determined by the board of directors, which minimum amount shall not exceed five percent of the bank's legal loan limit, except the minimum amount shall in no case be less than ten thousand dollars; a second list of the aggregate indebtedness of each borrower whose aggregate indebtedness exceeds five times such minimum amount, except the aggregate indebtedness shall in no case be less than fifty thousand dollars; a third list showing all paper past due thirty days or more or alternatively, the third list shall report the total past-due ratio for loans thirty days or more past due, nonaccrual loans divided by total loans, and a listing of past-due loans in excess of the minimum amount to be determined by the board of directors, which minimum amount shall not exceed five percent of the bank's legal loan limit, except the minimum amount shall in no case be less than ten thousand dollars; and a fourth list showing the aggregate of the then-existing indebtedness and liability to the bank or trust company of each of the directors, officers, and employees thereof. The information called for in the second, third, and fourth lists shall be submitted as of the date of the regular meeting or as of a reasonable date prior thereto. No bills payable shall be made, and no bills shall be rediscounted by the bank or trust company except with the consent or ratification of the board of directors; provided, however, that if the bank or trust company is a member of the federal reserve system, rediscounts may be made to it by the officers in accordance with its rules, a list of all rediscounts to be submitted to the next regular meeting of the board. The director of finance may require, by order, that the board of directors of a bank or trust company approve or disapprove every purchase or sale of securities and every discount, loan, acceptance, renewal or other advance including every overdraft over an amount to be specified in the director's order and may also require that the board of directors review, at each monthly meeting, a list of the aggregate indebtedness of each borrower whose aggregate indebtedness exceeds an amount to be specified in the director's order. The minutes of the meeting shall indicate the compliance with the requirements of this section. Furthermore, the debtor's identity on the information required in this subsection may be masked by code to conceal the actual debtor's identity only for information mailed to or otherwise provided directors who are not physically present at the board meeting. The code used shall be revealed to all directors at the beginning of each board meeting for which this procedure is used.
2. For any issue in need of immediate action, the board of directors or the executive committee of the board as defined in section 362.253 may enter into a unanimous consent agreement as permitted by subsection 2 of section 351.340. Such consent may be communicated by facsimile transmission or by other authenticated record, separately by each director, provided each consent is signed by the director and the bank has no indication such signature is not the director's valid consent. When the bank or trust company has received unanimous consent from the board or executive committee, the action voted on shall be considered approved.
