Official statutory text

After the expiration of the time fixed in the order provided for in section 1050, and upon the filing of such petition, said court shall direct notice of a hearing of said petitions to be given to the commissioner and to such petitioners as are shareholders of such insurer. At such hearing, all petitions for the disapproval and all petitions for the modification of said mutualization plan shall be given precedence over all petitions for the appointment of one or more appraisers. Upon hearing of all such petitions for the disapproval and for the modification of said mutualization plan, said court shall either approve said mutualization plan or disapprove it or modify it in such manner and to such extent, not inconsistent with the provisions of this article, as to said court shall seem appropriate. In the event of the disapproval of said mutualization plan the court shall deny all petitions for the appointment of one or more appraisers. In the event of the approval or modification of said mutualization plan, the court shall, upon hearing of the petitions for the appointment of appraisers, appoint one or more appraisers, who shall appraise the then outstanding shares of the capital stock of such insurer, without regard to any appreciation or depreciation arising out of said mutualization plan as so approved or modified. Such appraisement shall fix the reasonable value of such shares of capital stock, including the goodwill, if any, of such insurer, and shall state the value, if any, assigned to such goodwill; and if the appraisers shall have found that such insurer has no goodwill, such finding shall be stated. Such appraisement, when confirmed by said court, shall be final and conclusive.
