A hearing held under this section is confidential and closed to the public.

(4) the experience, ability, standing, competence, trustworthiness, and integrity of the proposed transferee, or any member of a group comprising the proposed transferee, are insufficient to justify a belief that the bank will be free from improper or unlawful influence or interference with respect to the bank's operation in compliance with law;

(5) the bank will not be solvent, have adequate capitalization, or comply with the law of this state after the acquisition;

(6) the proposed transferee has not furnished all information pertinent to the application reasonably required by the banking commissioner; or

(7) the proposed transferee is not acting in good faith.

(c) If the banking commissioner approves the application, the transaction may be consummated.
