Tenn. Code § 45-2-2105
After the trust company charter or articles of organization have been issued by the commissioner, the incorporators, or, if directors have been initially appointed, the directors of the proposed state trust company, may call for the payment of the subscriptions. The subscriptions shall be placed into an escrow account. The incorporators or directors, as appropriate, may not remove any funds from the escrow account prior to the issuance of the certificate of authority or upon written approval from the commissioner. In the case of an offering to raise capital to form a state trust company by an entity that will control the company, subscriptions shall also be placed into an escrow account and may not be removed prior to the issuance of the certificate of authority or upon written approval from the commissioner.
