(1) Upon approval of the commissioner, a mutual company may reorganize by forming simultaneously a mutual holding company and converting the mutual company into a direct or indirect stock subsidiary of the mutual holding company. Unless otherwise specifically requested in a plan of reorganization filed with the commissioner, reorganization under this chapter is not a full conversion of a mutual company or of a mutual holding company, as otherwise available under chapter 59. Chapter 59 conversions are separate transactions from a reorganization under this chapter, but may occur with or as a result of a reorganization under this chapter if so requested in a plan approved by the commissioner under chapter 59.
  (2) A mutual holding company formed under this chapter may demutualize by complying with the applicable provisions of chapter 59.
