(c) Provide for the formation of a mutual holding company under Section 83-31-145 et seq.; or

(d) Set forth another plan containing any other provisions approved by the commissioner.

(3) The commissioner may retain, at the mutual insurance company’s expense, a qualified expert or experts, including but not limited to appraisers, actuaries, accountants and attorneys, not otherwise a part of the commissioner’s staff to assist in reviewing whether the alternative conversion plan may be approved by the commissioner.
