(a) the par value of all shares of the bank having a par value that have been issued; plus

(b) the amount of the consideration received by the bank for all shares of the bank without par value that have been issued, except that part of the consideration which has been allocated to capital surplus in a manner permitted by law; plus

(c) the amounts not included in Subsections (a) and (b) as have been transferred to stated capital of the bank, whether upon the issue of shares as a share dividend or otherwise; minus

(d) all reductions from such sum as have been effected in a manner permitted by law.
