However, if a\nUnited States branch is domesticated into a foreign insurer, the\nsuperintendent, unless otherwise satisfied that the interests of\npolicyholders of in force business and of creditors on outstanding\nclaims are protected, may defer consent to the withdrawal of so much of\nthe trusteed assets as in his judgment is reasonably required to protect\nsuch interests as of the date of domestication; and he shall consent to\ntheir withdrawal from time to time as such interests expire.\n
