Section 487.3711 - Conversion of Member-Owned Federally Chartered Financial Institution Into Mutual Savings Bank.

Sec. 711.
(1) With the approval of the commissioner, and upon the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast, a mutual federal savings and loan association, mutual federal savings bank, or other member-owned federally chartered financial institution doing business in this state may be converted into a mutual savings bank if the conversion is not in contravention of any laws of the United States. In such case, the articles of incorporation may be executed by a majority of the directors of the federal savings and loan association, federal savings bank, or other member-owned federally chartered financial institution. A majority of the directors, after executing the articles of incorporation, shall have the power to execute all other papers and to do whatever may be required to complete its organization as a savings bank.
(2) The shares or membership interests of the savings bank may continue to be for the same amount each as they were before the conversion, and the directors may continue to be directors of the savings bank until others have been elected or appointed under the laws of this state.
(3) The approval of the commissioner shall be based on an examination of the federal savings and loan association, federal savings bank, or other member-owned federally chartered financial institution and of the proceedings had by its directors and members with respect to the conversion.
(4) A conversion shall not be made to defeat or defraud any of the creditors of the federal savings and loan association, federal savings bank, or other member-owned federally chartered financial institution.
(5) Subject to conditions as he or she may prescribe, the commissioner may permit the converted savings bank to retain and carry, at a value determined by the commissioner, assets of the converting federal savings and loan association, federal savings bank, or other member-owned federally chartered financial institution as do not conform to the legal requirements relative to assets acquired and held by savings banks.
