When funds are on hand and adequate for that purpose, a state savings bank may redeem by lot or otherwise, as the board of directors may determine, all or a part of its savings accounts by giving fourteen days' notice addressed to each affected account holder at his last address as recorded on the books of the state savings bank. A state savings bank may not redeem its savings accounts when the state savings bank is in an impaired condition or when it has applications for withdrawal which have been on file for more than thirty days and have not been reached for payment. The redemption price of savings accounts redeemed must be the full value of the account redeemed, as determined by the board of directors, but not less than the withdrawal value. If this notice of redemption has been given, and if on or before the redemption date the funds necessary for the redemption have been set aside so as to be available, earnings upon the accounts called for redemption cease to accrue from and after the earnings date specified as the redemption date, and all rights with respect to these accounts terminate after the redemption date, except the right of an account holder of the record to receive the redemption price without interest. All savings account evidences of ownership for former savings accounts which have been validly called for redemption must be tendered for payment within ten years from the date of redemption designated in the redemption notice; otherwise they must be canceled and the funds set aside for this account become the property of the State and all claims of the former account holders against the state savings bank are barred forever. In the alternative, the state savings bank may remit to the holder of record, at the address provided for on the books of the savings bank, payment in respect to a redeemed account, and the account then may be closed.
