(a) Upon the approval of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board [abolished], or other applicable federal authority, any federal association may convert itself into an association under this chapter upon a majority vote of the members of the federal association cast at an annual meeting or any special meeting called to consider that action. (b) Copies of the minutes of the proceedings of the meeting of members, verified by affidavit of the secretary, shall be filed in the office of the Supervisor of Savings and Loan Associations. The verified copies of the proceedings of the meeting when so filed shall be presumptive evidence of the holding and action of the meeting. (c) (1) At the meeting at which conversion is voted upon, the members shall approve bylaws and adopt articles of incorporation and elect the directors who shall be the directors of the state-chartered association after conversion takes effect, provided that the terms and conditions of a conversion may provide for the directors of the federal association to serve as directors of the converted state-chartered association. (2) Copies of the bylaws and articles of incorporation adopted at the meeting, verified by affidavit of the secretary, shall be filed with the office of the supervisor. (d) (1) If the bylaws and articles of incorporation are in conformity with the provisions of this chapter, and if a consent or acquiescence in the conversion by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board [abolished] or other applicable authority is filed with the supervisor, he or she shall endorse his or her approval on the articles of incorporation together with the following statement: "This association is incorporated by conversion from a federal savings and loan association." (2) Upon the supervisor's endorsement of approval, the former federal association shall be an association incorporated under the provisions of this chapter as a direct successor to the federal association. (e) All the provisions regarding property and other rights contained in § 23-37-701 shall apply, in reverse order, to the conversion of a federal association into an association incorporated under this chapter so that the state-chartered association shall be a continuation of the corporate entity of the converting federal association and continue to have all of its property and rights.
