214.655 Authority to form interim institution.

(1) A savings bank may form an interim institution to effect a corporate restructuring, a voluntary corporate change or other transformation that does not in reality create an additional new financial institution, but that moves insured deposits from one financial institution to another pursuant to a change in control, change in method of ownership, merger or other organizational change that results in no new insurable deposits. The interim institution may become or receive the continuing or surviving financial institution or may be a conduit through which an existing financial institution's assets, liabilities, fixtures, personnel, rights and property are passed to effect a corporate change. In connection with formation of an interim institution, an existing savings bank may amend its articles of incorporation and bylaws to remove any depository function and to remove any deposits that would require insurance of accounts by a deposit insurance corporation.

(2) A savings bank shall apply to the division for authority to form an interim institution. The application shall be made on forms prescribed by the division and shall be accompanied by a nonrefundable $1,000 fee. The division shall promulgate rules governing the formation of, and the standards and supervisory considerations to be applied to, interim institutions. An application shall contain all of the following:

(a) The name and address of the savings bank.

(b) A copy of all filings required by other regulatory authorities.

(c) A statement from the savings bank's certified public accountant describing and analyzing the method to effect the transaction.

(d) A 5-year plan for the resulting financial institution and for any corporate remnant of the original savings bank regarding the disposition, acquisition or expansion of assets; capital enhancement; disposition of earnings and profits; and geographic or other expansion or contraction.

(e) The purpose of the resulting financial institution.

(f) Whether deposit accounts will be expanded to require increased insurance of accounts together with copies of the appropriate filings.

(g) Ownership structure including any contemplated sales of stock of subsidiaries, affiliates or savings bank holding companies, as well as of the resulting financial institution.

(h) Articles of incorporation and bylaws of the original savings bank, interim institution and resulting financial institution.
