A bank organized or doing business under this chapter may go into liquidation by a vote of its shareholders owning a majority of the capital stock outstanding or such greater percentage required under the articles of incorporation or bylaws. If a vote is taken to go into liquidation, the board of directors shall give notice of this fact to the division, and the notice shall be certified by an officer of the bank.
