The transferring credit union and the acquirer shall file with the commissioner a written agreement describing the terms and conditions of the transaction, and such additional information as may be required by the commissioner. Such agreement shall be approved and executed by a majority of the governing board of the transferring credit union and of the acquirer, provided if the acquirer does not have a governing board, the agreement may be executed by a person authorized to execute the agreement on behalf of the acquirer. Payment for all or part of the assets and business of the transferring credit union may be made in cash or by making available on demand to share account holders and other creditors thereof funds on deposit with the acquirer. The commissioner may require the transferring credit union to obtain authorization for the transfer by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the members of such credit union.
