a. All other powers, rights, and privileges of a converted savings bank or a subsidiary capital stock savings bank not expressly provided for in this act shall be governed by the laws of this State relating to savings banks, including the laws relating to capital stock savings banks, but in any case where any power of investment of a mutual savings bank is limited to a percentage of its capital deposits or surplus, any limitation upon a subsidiary capital stock savings bank shall be expressed in terms of total capital funds, as defined by the commissioner by regulations.

b. A subsidiary capital stock savings bank or a converted savings bank may merge with a mutual savings bank or with a capital stock savings bank pursuant to the provisions of Article 21 of P.L. 1948, c. 67 (C. 17:9A-132 et seq.). In the event of the merger of a subsidiary capital stock savings bank or converted savings bank with another savings bank, in which the resulting savings bank shall be a subsidiary capital stock savings bank or capital stock savings bank held by a mutual savings bank holding company, the plan of merger or consolidation shall provide for the retention of any interests of the depositors of the merging or consolidating savings bank in the assets of the resulting savings bank’s parent mutual savings bank holding company according to a fair valuation.
