But such reduction shall not interfere with nor in any way alter the liability of shareholders to contribute a further sum of £10 as provided by the bank’s Acts and deed of settlement, in the event of the assets of the corporation being insufficient to meet its engagements.”

(2.) “That the Directors be and are hereby empowered, at their option, to receive from such holders of the shares in the capital of the bank numbered 1 to 100,000 inclusive as may be willing to pay the same £1 15s. per share, to reinstate their shares to £7; and to receive from such holders of the shares in the same capital numbered 100,001 to 150,000 inclusive as may be willing to pay the same £2 10s. per share, to reinstate their shares to £10, and on all shares so reinstated to pay dividends on the reinstated amount: Provided always that no such payment and reinstatement shall render any shareholder liable to pay any further or larger amount than he would have been liable for if such payment and reinstatement had not been made.”
