After the adoption of such resolution, a meeting of the members or stockholders, as the case may be, of the State association shall be held upon not less than 10 days' written notice to the members or stockholders by mail, postage prepaid, directed to their addresses appearing on the books of the State association, which notice shall contain a statement of the time, place and purpose for which such meeting is called.
c. At such meeting, the members or stockholders may by the affirmative vote of 2/3 of the members present, or shares eligible to be voted which are represented at the meeting, either in person or by proxy, declare by resolution the determination to convert the State association into a savings bank of this State.
d. If the authority for the proposed conversion has been approved by the board of directors and by the members or stockholders as required by this section, the board of directors of the State association may apply to the commissioner to convert to a savings bank.
