B. The commissioner shall not approve an application for acquisition unless he finds each of the following: (1) The acquisition would not frustrate the plan of reorganization as approved by the qualified voters and the commissioner. (2) The board of directors of the reorganized company or its parent corporation, as applicable, has approved the acquisition, or extraordinary circumstances not contemplated in the plan of reorganization have arisen that would warrant their approval of the acquisition. (3) The acquisition would be in the best interest of the reorganized company and policyholders of the reorganized insurer or insurers.
