Mutualization of stock insurer
Official statutory text
A. A domestic stock insurer other than a life or title insurer
may become a domestic mutual insurer pursuant to such plan and
procedure as may be approved in advance by the Insurance
Commissioner.
B. The Commissioner shall not approve any such plan, procedure,
or mutualization unless:
1. It is equitable to both stockholders and policyholders;
2. It is subject to approval by a vote of the holders of not
less than three-fourths (3/4) of the insurer's capital stock having
voting rights and by a vote of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the
insurer's policyholders who vote on such plan in person, by proxy or
by mail pursuant to such notice and procedure as may be approved by
the Commissioner;
3. Mutualization will result in retirement of shares of the
insurer's capital stock at a price not in excess of the fair market
value thereof as determined by competent disinterested appraisers;
4. The plan provides for the purchase of the shares of any
nonconsenting stockholder in accordance with the provisions of the
Oklahoma General Corporation Act, and such nonconsenting
stockholders shall have all the rights and restrictions applicable
under said act to stockholders of a private corporation who do not
consent to the agreed manner of converting the shares of stock of
such private corporation upon proposal for consolidation;
5. The plan provides for definite conditions to be fulfilled by
a designated early date upon which such mutualization will be deemed
effective; and
6. The mutualization leaves the insurer with surplus funds
reasonably adequate for the security of its policyholders and to
continue successfully in business in the states in which it is then
authorized to transact insurance, and for the kinds of insurance
included in its certificate of authority.
C. This section shall not apply to mutualization under order of
court pursuant to rehabilitation or reorganization of an insurer
under Article 18, (Rehabilitation and Liquidation).
