If the superintendent approves the application of a financial institution for conversion to a state credit union, the superintendent shall cause the articles of incorporation of the resulting state credit union to be filed and recorded in the county in which the state credit union has its principal place of business and the superintendent shall issue a certificate of authority to do business under the laws of this state to the resulting state credit union. The financial institution shall then become a state credit union subject to the laws of this state.
b. The superintendent shall furnish a copy of the certificate to the administrator of the national credit union administration.
3. a. Upon conversion, the existence of the original financial institution shall cease.

be prosecuted to judgment as if the conversion had not taken place, or the resulting state
credit union may be substituted in its place.
