If the savings bank shall have adopted in its plan of conversion the optional provisions in s.
DFI-SB 21.11 (5) or
(9), the savings bank shall deliver order forms to the eligible account holders, supplemental eligible account holders, and other members who requested receipt of the offering circular.
DFI-SB 21.25(7)(b)
(b) Each order form shall be accompanied or preceded by the final offering circular for the subscription offering or the public offering and a set of detailed instructions explaining how to complete the order form.
DFI-SB 21.25(7)(c)
(c) The maximum subscription price or the actual price per share stated on each order form shall be the amount to be paid when the form is returned. The maximum subscription price and the actual subscription price shall be within the subscription price range stated in the division's approval and the offering circular. If either the maximum subscription price or the actual price per share is not within the subscription price range, the applicant must obtain an amendment to the division's approval before the sale may be completed. If appropriate, the division may condition the approval on requiring a resolicitation of proxies or order form, or both. If the actual public offering price is less than the maximum subscription price stated on the order forms, the actual subscription price shall be correspondingly reduced and the difference shall be refunded to those who have paid it, unless a subscriber affirmatively elects to have the difference applied to the purchase of additional shares of capital stock.
DFI-SB 21.25(7)(d)
(d) Each order form shall indicate, in as simple, clear and intelligible a manner as possible, the actions which are required or available with respect to the form and the capital stock offered for purchase. Each order form shall:

1. Indicate the maximum number of shares that may be purchased under the subscription rights.
DFI-SB 21.25(7)(d)2.

If payment is to be made by withdrawal from a savings account or certificate of deposit, a box to check shall be provided.
DFI-SB 21.25(7)(d)8.
8. Contain an acknowledgment by the account holder or other person signing the order form that he or she has received a final offering circular prior to signing.

9. Indicate the consequences of failing to properly complete and return the order form, including a statement that the subscription rights are nontransferable and will become void at the end of the subscription period. The order form may, and the instructions shall, indicate the place or places to which the order form is to be returned and when the order form shall be considered received, such as by date and time of actual receipt at the address indicated or by date and time of postmark.
DFI-SB 21.25(7)(e)
(e) The order form may provide that it may not be modified without the applicant's consent after its receipt. If payment is to be made by withdrawal from a savings account or certificate of deposit, the applicant may, but need not, cause the withdrawal to be made upon receipt of the order form. If the withdrawal is made at any time prior to the closing date of the public offering, the applicant shall pay interest to the account holder on the amount withdrawn as if the amount had remained in the account from which it was withdrawn until the closing date.

In the case of early withdrawal of only a portion of a certificate of deposit account, the certificate evidencing the account shall be cancelled if the applicable minimum balance requirement ceases to be met and the remaining balance shall earn interest at the passbook rate.
DFI-SB 21.25(9)
(9)
Period for completion of sale. The sale of all shares of capital stock of the savings bank under the plan of conversion, including any sale in a public offering or direct community offering, shall be completed as promptly as possible and within 45 calendar days after the last day of the subscription period, unless extended by the division in writing for good cause shown.
DFI-SB 21.25(10)
(10)
Interest on subscriptions and direct community offering purchase orders. The savings bank shall pay interest at not less than the passbook rate on all amounts paid in cash, check or money order to the institution to purchase shares of capital stock in the subscription offering, direct community offering or public offering from the date payment is received until the conversion is completed or terminated.
DFI-SB 21.25(11)
(11)

DFI-SB 21.25(11)(a)(a) The division may grant one or more extensions of the time required to complete the sale of all shares of capital stock under sub.

If the public offering or the direct community offering is not completed within 20 days after its commencement, all instructions from subscribers and ordering persons to increase, decrease or rescind their subscriptions or orders received during the 20 day offering period shall be honored by the applicant.
DFI-SB 21.25(11)(c)
(c) In this section, the public offering shall be regarded as commencing upon the filing with the division of the preliminary offering circular for the public offering, and the direct community offering shall be regarded as commencing upon the declaration of effectiveness by the division of the final offering circular.
DFI-SB 21.25(11)(d)
(d) After the expiration of subscription rights, the applicant shall file with and have declared effective by the division a post-effective amendment to the offering circular delivered to subscribers upon the occurrence of any event, circumstance or change of circumstance which would be material to the investment decision of a subscriber or, if applicable, a person who has ordered capital stock in the public or direct community offering.
DFI-SB 21.25(11)(e)
(e) Any post-effective amendment to an offering circular distributed to subscribers in the offering shall be distributed by the applicant immediately after the declaration of effectiveness to each subscriber, and, if applicable, each person who has ordered stock in the public or direct community offering, and the applicant shall grant to each subscriber and ordering person the right to increase, decrease or rescind his or her subscription or order for a period which shall be no less than the greater of 10 days from the date of the mailing of the post-effective amendment or the period remaining in an extension of time granted in writing by the division.
