W. Va. Code § 31A-4-12
The officers and directors of a state banking institution shall not pay out, disburse or withdraw, or permit to be paid out, disbursed or withdrawn, in any manner whatever, any part of the capital of the corporation except in case of merger or consolidation, as hereinafter provided. Whenever, from any cause, the capital of such banking institution shall become impaired it shall be the duty of the officers and directors of such institution, forthwith, to cause any such impairment to be made good, by assessing the amount of the deficiency pro rata on the shares of the capital stock outstanding, which assessments shall be paid within thirty days after notice thereof. If any stockholder shall neglect or refuse to pay the assessment on his shares after thirty days' notice, it shall be the duty of the board of directors to cause a sufficient number of his shares of stock to be sold for cash, at public sale at the banking room of the banking institution.
Notice of such sale shall be published as a Class II legal advertisement in compliance with the provisions of article three, chapter fifty-nine of this code, and the publication area for such publication shall be the county in which the banking institution is located. The first publication shall be made at least ten days before the date of such sale.
Any surplus from the sale of any share shall be paid to the defaulting stockholder.
A sale of stock as provided in this section shall effect an absolute cancellation of the outstanding certificate, or certificates, evidencing the stock so sold, and shall make such certificate null and void, and a new certificate shall be issued by the bank to the purchaser of such stock.
