S.C. Code Ann. § 34-30-320: Conversion to federal charter with change from stock to mutual, or mutual to stock; conversion to state charter with change from mutual to stock.

(A) If a state charter converts to a federal charter in which the form of organization also is changed from stock to mutual, or from mutual to stock, the conversion shall proceed initially as a charter conversion under Section 34-30-310. After the state savings bank becomes a federal depository institution, the federal regulatory authority governs the continuing conversion of the form of ownership of the newly converted depository institution.

(B) If a federal charter converts to a state charter conversion in which the form of organization also is changed from mutual to stock, the conversion proceeds initially as a charter conversion under Section 34-30-300. After the federal depository institution becomes a state savings bank, Section 34-30-330 or 34-30-340 governs the continuing conversion of the form of ownership of the newly converted state savings bank.

(C) This section does not apply to the simultaneous charter and organization conversion accomplished in conjunction with a merger under Section 34-30-360.
