§ 5860 Mutual Association Reorganization Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •A mutual association (like a local savings group) can change into a mutual holding company if they get permission first.
  • •To do this, they create a new company (a stock association) and move most of their money and debts to it.
  • •The new company takes over all the savings accounts from the old group.

Example

Imagine your local credit union wants to grow bigger and offer more services.

They can ask for permission to turn into a bigger company. If allowed, they’ll create a new company, move most of their money and debts into it, and keep all your savings accounts safe in the new company.

§ 5860 Mutual Association Reorganization Rules

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, but subject to prior approval of the commissioner, any mutual association may reorganize so as to become a mutual holding company by causing a reorganized savings and loan association to be incorporated and organized as a stock association under this chapter, transferring to the reorganized stock association a substantial part of the assets of that mutual association and causing the reorganized stock association to assume all or a substantial part of the liabilities of the mutual association, including all of its savings account liabilities. (Added by Stats. 1988, Ch. 718, Sec. 10.)
