The cost of an examination shall be assessed against and paid by the savings and loan association or savings and loan holding company examined. The assessment for an examination shall be the same as for a special examination under Chapter 1155. of the Revised Code plus documented extraordinary expenses. The superintendent may request the savings and loan association or savings and loan holding company to be examined pursuant to this division to advance the estimated cost of such examination.

The superintendent may accept reports of examinations and other records from such other authorities in lieu of conducting his own examination of such savings and loan associations or savings and loan holding companies. The superintendent may take any action jointly with other regulatory agencies having concurrent jurisdiction over such savings and loan associations or savings and loan holding companies or may take action independently in order to carry out his responsibilities under division (B) of section 1151.71 of the Revised Code.
(C) When the superintendent considers it necessary, he may require any savings and loan association or savings and loan holding company that has acquired an Ohio savings and loan association or Ohio savings and loan holding company pursuant to the authority granted by division (B) of section 1151.71 of the Revised Code to submit such reports to the superintendent as he determines to be necessary or appropriate for the purpose of carrying out his responsibilities.
(D) Any savings and loan association or savings and loan holding company that has acquired an Ohio savings and loan association or Ohio savings and loan holding company pursuant to the authority granted by division (B) of section 1151.71 of the Revised Code is subject to the proceedings brought by the superintendent pursuant to Chapter 1157. of the Revised Code.
(E)(1) The approval of the superintendent is required for the declaration of dividends on permanent stock if the total of all such dividends declared by any Ohio savings and loan association or Ohio savings and loan holding company acquired pursuant to the authority granted by division (B) of section 1151.71 of the Revised Code in any fiscal year exceeds the total of its net profits of that year combined with its retained net profits of the preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus or a fund for the retirement of any preferred stock.
