The governor or, if he cannot act, some competent resident of the state to be appointed by him, the attorney general, and the superintendent of insurance shall constitute a commission to hear and determine any petition presented under section 3907.10 of the Revised Code. At the time and place fixed in the notice given by the superintendent, or at such time and place as is fixed by adjournment, the commission shall proceed with the hearing, and may make such examination into the affairs and condition of the company as it considers proper. The superintendent may summon and compel the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of books and papers before the commission. Any policyholder or stockholder of the company may appear and be heard in reference to such petition. 
 

If satisfied that the interests of the policyholders of such company are properly protected, and that no reasonable objection exists thereto, the commission may approve and authorize the proposed merger or consolidation. Such merger or consolidation shall only be approved by the consent of all the members of the commission, whose duty it is to guard the interests of the policyholders of any such company proposing to merge or consolidate.
