Pennsylvania § 354 - Amendment or abandonment of plan of conversion.

§ 354. Amendment or abandonment of plan of conversion.

(a) Approval of amendment.--A plan of conversion in which the converting association is a domestic association may be amended in one of the following ways:

(1) In the same manner as the plan was approved, if the plan does not provide for the manner in which it may be amended.

(2) By its governors or interest holders in the manner provided in the plan, but an interest holder that was entitled to vote on or consent to approval of the plan is entitled to vote on or consent to any amendment of the plan that will change any of the following:

(i) The amount or kind of interests, securities, obligations, money, other property, rights to acquire interests or securities, or any combination of the foregoing, to be received by any of the interest holders of the converting association under the plan.

(ii) The public organic record, if any, or private organic rules of the converted association that will be in effect immediately after the conversion becomes effective, except for changes that do not require approval of the interest holders of the converted association under its organic law or organic rules.

(iii) Any other terms or conditions of the plan, if the change would:

(A) increase the interest holder liability to which the interest holder will be subject; or

(B) otherwise adversely affect the interest holder in any material respect.

(b) Approval of abandonment.--After a plan of conversion has been approved by a converting association that is a domestic association and before a statement of conversion becomes effective, the plan may be abandoned as provided in the plan. Unless prohibited by the plan, a domestic converting association may abandon the plan in the same manner as the plan was approved.

(c) Statement of abandonment.--If a plan of conversion is abandoned after a statement of conversion has been delivered to the department for filing and before the statement of conversion becomes effective, a statement of abandonment under section 141 (relating to abandonment of filing before effectiveness), signed by the converting association, must be delivered to the department for filing before the statement of conversion becomes effective.
