(a) A director, officer, agent, or employee of the mutual company shall not receive any fee, commission, or other valuable consideration, other than such person’s usual regular salary or compensation, for aiding, promoting, or assisting in a conversion under this chapter, except as provided for in the plan approved by the Commissioner. This provision does not prohibit the payment of reasonable fees and compensation to attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, and actuaries for services performed in the independent practice of their professions, even if the attorney, accountant, financial advisor, or actuary is also a director or officer of the mutual company.
(b) For a period of 2 years after the effective date of the conversion, no converted stock company shall implement any nontax-qualified stock benefit plan unless the plan is approved by a majority of votes cast at a duly-convened meeting of shareholders held not less than 6 months after the effective date of the conversion.
(c) All the costs and expenses connected with a plan of conversion shall be paid for or reimbursed by the mutual company or the converted stock company. However, if the plan provides for participation by another corporation or stock company in the plan pursuant to § 4975(a)(3)a. of this title, the corporation or stock company may pay for or reimburse all or a portion of the costs and expenses connected with the plan.
