     (2) Upon ninety days advance application to and written approval of the director, a historic business development company may convert its charter to that of a general business development company.

     (a) The historic performance and safety and soundness of the historic business development company;

     (c) Whether the applicant will have a likelihood of remaining safe and sound as a general business development company and pursuant to its proposed modified business plan; and

     (d) Whether the proposed conversion would serve, or otherwise not detract from, the needs and convenience of the community served by the business development company.
