The conversion plan may be:
Amended by a vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the members of the board of directors of the applicant in response to the comments or recommendations of the commissioner or any other state or federal agency or governmental entity before any solicitation of proxies from members of the mutual insurance company to vote on the conversion plan or at any time with the consent of the commissioner, except that any material amendment after the members’ approval shall require the members’ approval; or
Terminated by a vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the members of the board of directors of the applicant at any time before members of the mutual insurance company vote on the conversion plan and, otherwise, at any time with the consent of the commissioner.
Within twenty (20) business days after filing with the commissioner the documents required under Section 83-31-107(1), the mutual insurance company shall send to each eligible member a notice advising the eligible member of the adoption and filing of the conversion plan and of the member’s right to provide to the commissioner and the mutual insurance company comments on the plan.
As an alternative to the notice required under paragraph (a) of this subsection, the mutual insurance company may use any other means which is reasonably designed to provide notice to eligible members and which alternative means of providing notice is approved by the commissioner.
The notice required under paragraphs (a) or (b) of this subsection shall include a description of the procedure to be used in making comments.
An eligible member who elects to make comments must make the comments in writing (a) if notice is sent to each eligible member, not later than the thirtieth day after the date on which the notice is sent; or (b) if an alternative means of providing notice is approved by the commissioner, not later than such date for receipt of comments approved by the commissioner.
