(a) A foreign mutual insurer or foreign mutual holding company that has filed an application for redomestication may file an application for conversion under this chapter promptly after completion of the redomestication or upon such earlier date as the Commissioner may permit, but in no event prior to the approval of the redomestication by the members of the foreign mutual insurer or foreign mutual holding company if such a member vote is required under the laws of the state of domicile of the foreign mutual insurer or foreign mutual holding company. A redomestication application shall contain such information as the Commissioner may require. If the redomestication is approved by the state of domicile of the foreign mutual insurer or foreign mutual holding company and the members of the foreign mutual insurer or foreign mutual holding company, to the extent required, then no redomestication application of a foreign mutual insurer or foreign mutual holding company will be denied solely because the applicant has indicated its intention to avail itself of the provisions of this chapter.
(b) In addition to any requirements imposed by the existing state of domicile with respect to approval of redomestication by its voting members, a foreign mutual insurer that files an application for redomestication under this section also shall provide to its voting members a comparison of the method of mutual to stock conversion in its existing state of domicile and the methods of mutual to stock conversion established by this chapter.
(c) Any order approving the redomestication of a foreign mutual insurer or foreign mutual holding company may contain such terms and conditions as the Commissioner shall require.
(d) Any foreign mutual insurer or foreign mutual holding company that redomesticates under the provisions of this section, within 10 days of the date of redomestication, shall adopt resolutions ratifying any previously adopted plan of conversion and file such resolutions as an amendment to the application for conversion. The Commissioner may deem any failure to file such ratifying resolutions as a withdrawal of the application for conversion.
(e) Nothing contained in this chapter is intended or shall be deemed to supersede or conflict with the requirements of the state of domicile of any foreign mutual insurer or foreign mutual holding company.
(f) Except to the extent specifically provided by this section, a plan of conversion shall be adopted as required by § 4973 of this title and shall be consistent with the requirements of §§ 4975, 4976, and 4977, or of § 4978, of this title.
