481. Every public issue of securities by a legal person referred to in the first paragraph of section 480 and the amount and terms and conditions of such issue must receive the prior approval of the federation controlling the legal person, by way of resolution.
The federation shall also determine, by resolution, the apportionment of the proceeds of the issue among the credit unions it determines and shall specify, where applicable, the sums to be used to subscribe securities of a security fund.
The resolution of the federation is binding on the credit unions. Each such credit union is bound to issue the securities for the amount resulting from the apportionment made by the federation.
The resolution of the federation shall, for each credit union, stand in lieu of a by-law or a resolution authorizing borrowings or an issue of securities, as the case may be. The federation is authorized to perform, at any time, any acts that are expedient for the purposes of such a resolution or by-law, in particular the determination and payment of interest, and the determination of the terms and conditions of redemption, repurchase or conversion attached to the securities issued by a credit union. Such by-laws, resolutions and acts performed in the name of a credit union are deemed to be by-laws, resolutions or acts of the credit union.
