(a) The owner of shares of a state bank which were voted against a merger to result in a state bank, or against the conversion of a state bank into a national bank, are entitled to receive their fair market value in cash, if and when the merger or conversion becomes effective, upon written demand, made to the resulting state or national bank at any time within thirty (30) days after the effective date of the merger or conversion accompanied by the surrender of the stock certificates. The value of the shares shall be determined, as of the date of the stockholders' meeting approving the merger or conversion, by three (3) appraisers, one (1) to be selected by the owners of two-thirds (2/3) of the dissenting shares involved, one (1) by the board of directors of the resulting state or national bank, and the third by the two (2) so chosen. The valuation agreed upon by any two (2) appraisers shall govern. If the appraisal is not completed within ninety (90) days after the merger or conversion becomes effective the state banking commissioner shall cause an appraisal to be made.
(b) The expenses of appraisal shall be paid by the resulting bank.
(c) The resulting state or national bank may fix an amount which it considers to be not more than the fair market value of the shares of a merging or the converting bank at the time of the stockholders' meeting approving the merger or conversion, which it will pay dissenting shareholders of the bank entitled to payment in cash. The amount due under the accepted offer or under the appraisal shall constitute a debt of the resulting bank.
