Section 7107. Expedited approval; mutual property/casualty insurance companies  


Latest version.
  • If in the judgment of the superintendent the interests of the  policyholders require it, a domestic mutual property/casualty  insurance
      company   may,   after   obtaining   the   tentative   approval  of  the
      superintendent  and  subject  to  his  final  approval,  enter  into  an
      agreement  of merger or consolidation with an authorized assuming mutual
      property/casualty insurance company, upon the adoption of such agreement
      by the boards of directors of such companies at special meetings  called
      for  the  purpose  upon  at least ten days notice. Upon the execution of
      such  agreement,  notice  thereof,   in   a   form   approved   by   the
      superintendent, shall immediately be mailed to the policyholders of both
      companies.  If within thirty days after such notice five percent or more
      of the policyholders of either company, determined as  of  the  date  of
      mailing such notice, shall file with the superintendent their objections
      to  such agreement, the superintendent shall call a hearing thereon upon
      such notice as the superintendent shall deem  advisable.  If  upon  such
      hearing  the  superintendent shall find that the terms of such agreement
      are not fair and reasonable to the policyholders and creditors  affected
      thereby,  the superintendent may withdraw his tentative approval of such
      agreement  which  shall  thereupon  become  null  and   void.   If   the
      superintendent  finally approves such agreement, the other provisions of
      this article, except sections seven thousand  one  hundred  four,  seven
      thousand  one  hundred  five  and seven thousand one hundred nineteen of
      this article, shall be applicable to such merger or consolidation.
