  8 17 appraiser's fees, and the fees and expenses of the
  8 18 attorney appointed to represent the minority
  8 19 shareholders shall be assessed against the bank or the
  8 20 bank holding company.  A judgment in the action shall
  8 21 not determine fair value for a share to be less than
  8 22 the stockholders' equity in the bank disclosed in its
  8 23 last statement of condition filed under section
  8 24 524.220 or the total equity capital of the bank
  8 25 holding company disclosed in the most recent report
  8 26 filed by the bank holding company with the board of
  8 27 governors of the federal reserve system, divided by
  8 28 the number of shares outstanding.  A final judgment in
  8 29 the action shall establish fair value for the purposes
  8 30 of chapter 490, division XIII and shall be disclosed
  8 31 to the shareholders in the notice to shareholders of
  8 32 the meeting to approve the transaction that gives rise
  8 33 to dissenters' appraisal rights.  If the proposed
  8 34 transaction is approved by the shareholders, upon
