A.  With the approval in writing of the commissioner, which approval shall state that the proposed sale is, in his opinion, necessary for the protection of the depositors and other creditors, any savings bank may, by a vote of a majority of its board of directors and without a vote of its members or stockholders, sell all or any part of its assets to another savings bank, savings and loan association, or financial institution as defined in the Louisiana Banking Law, or to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or to both a state or federally chartered savings bank or savings and loan association or a bank and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, provided that a savings bank, state or federally chartered savings and loan association, or bank assumes in writing all of the liabilities of the selling association.

B.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Chapter, a savings bank may sell to any savings bank, savings and loan association, or financial institution, as defined in the Louisiana Banking Law, an insubstantial portion of its total deposits which shall have the same meaning as provided in Part 5(d)(2)(D) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Chapter.  Such sale of an insubstantial portion of a savings bank’s deposits may be by vote of a majority of the board of directors and, with approval of the commissioner, without a vote of its members or stockholders.
