The department shall review the plan to determine whether, in the interest of safety and soundness and the other objectives of Code Section 7-1-3 , the activity, power, asset, or line of business should be approved, denied, or phased out within a reasonable period of time, to be determined by the department; and (6) No liability of the national bank or of its shareholders, directors, or officers shall be affected, nor shall any lien on any property of the national bank be impaired, by the conversion. Any claim existing or action pending by or against the national bank may be prosecuted to judgment as if the conversion had not taken place, or the resulting bank or trust company may be substituted in its place.
