Sec. 5. A subsidiary savings bank of a mutual holding company that has any stockholders other than the savings bank’s mutual holding company may not repurchase any share of stock within three (3) years of the stock’s date of issuance without the prior written approval of the director unless the repurchase:

(1) is part of a general repurchase made on a pro rata basis under an offer approved in writing by the director and made to all stockholders of the savings bank, except that the savings bank’s mutual holding company may be excluded from the repurchase with the department’s approval; and

(2) is accomplished in the open market by a stock benefit plan of the savings bank in an amount reasonable and appropriate to fund the plan.
