(1) The savings and loan association is insolvent; or

(2) Consummation of the transactions contemplated by the plan of consolidation, merger, or transfer of assets will not result in the shareholders or members of the savings and loan association receiving property of a lesser value in their capacity as shareholders or members than they otherwise would upon a complete liquidation of the savings and loan association in receivership.
