(1) The conversion plan must provide that any shares of capital stock not sold or distributed to holders of surplus notes, or subscribed to by eligible members exercising subscription rights under Section 83-31-119, may be sold in a private placement, public offering or other alternative method approved by the commissioner.
(2) The conversion plan must set the total price of the capital stock in an amount equal to the estimated pro forma market value of the converted stock company based on an independent valuation by a qualified expert, giving consideration to the amount of capital deemed necessary by the board of directors to be raised by the company. The pro forma market value may be the value estimated to be necessary to attract full subscription for the shares, as indicated by the independent valuation, and may be stated as a range of values.
(3) The conversion plan shall set the purchase price per share of capital stock at any reasonable amount approved by the commissioner. The purchase price per share need not be the same for each class of purchaser; however, eligible members purchasing stock in accordance with subscription rights received under Section 83-31-119 shall have the right to purchase shares at the lowest available purchase price under the plan.
(4) The conversion plan must provide that a person or group of persons acting in concert may not acquire, in the public offering or private placement or through the exercise of subscription rights, more than ten percent (10%) of the capital stock of the converted stock company except with the approval of the commissioner. This limitation does not apply to an entity that purchases one hundred percent (100%) of the capital stock of the converted company as part of the conversion plan approved by the commissioner.
