Sec. 6. (a) The department shall issue an order approving the plan of exchange as delivered to it by the bank, trust company, corporate fiduciary, or stock savings bank and the holding company, including any modifications to the plan as the board of directors of each corporation may approve, unless it finds that:
(1) the plan, including any modifications, would adversely affect the financial stability or management of the bank, trust company, corporate fiduciary, or stock savings bank or the general capacity or intention to continue the safe and sound conduct of the bank, trust company, corporate fiduciary, or stock savings bank;
(2) the terms and conditions of the plan of exchange are unfair and unreasonable to the shareholders of the bank, trust company, corporate fiduciary, or stock savings bank; or
(3) the plans or proposals that the holding company has to liquidate the bank, trust company, corporate fiduciary, or stock savings bank, sell its assets or consolidate or merge it with any person, or to make any other material change in its investment policy, business, corporate structure, or management, are unfair and unreasonable to the shareholders of the bank, trust company, corporate fiduciary, or stock savings bank and not in the public interest.
(b) If a hearing is held on the plan of exchange, the department shall issue its order approving or disapproving the plan within ninety (90) days of the date of hearing. The department shall include its findings of fact in the order. If the department approves the plan, the findings of fact must include a finding that the terms and conditions of the plan and of the issuance and exchange of holding company stock for stock of the bank, trust company, corporate fiduciary, or stock savings bank are fair and reasonable to the shareholders of the bank, trust company, corporate fiduciary, or stock savings bank. Any party to the proceedings aggrieved by the order is entitled to a judicial review in accordance with IC 4-21.5-5.
(c) If no hearing is held on the plan of exchange, the department shall issue an order approving or disapproving the plan, within ninety (90) days after the date on which the plan of exchange is filed with the department. The department may issue the order without including its findings of facts.
