Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
A.  If an order for liquidation or rehabilitation of a domestic
insurer has been entered, the receiver appointed under the order
shall have a right to recover on behalf of the insurer:
1.  From any parent corporation or holding company or person or
affiliate who otherwise controlled the insurer, the amount of
distributions (other than distributions of shares of the same class
of stock) paid by the insurer on its capital stock; or
2.  Any payment in the form of a bonus, termination settlement
or extraordinary lump-sum salary adjustment made by the insurer or
its subsidiary, to a director, officer or employee,
where the distribution or payment pursuant to paragraph 1 or 2 of
this subsection is made at any time during the one (1) year
preceding the petition for liquidation, conservation or
rehabilitation, as the case may be, subject to the limitations of
subsections B, C and D of this section.
B.  No distribution shall be recoverable if the parent or
affiliate shows that when paid the distribution was lawful and
reasonable, and that the insurer did not know and could not
reasonably have known that the distribution might adversely affect
the ability of the insurer to fulfill its contractual obligations.
C.  Any person who was a parent corporation or holding company
or a person who otherwise controlled the insurer or affiliate at the
time the distributions were paid shall be liable up to the amount of
distributions or payments under subsection A of this section which
the person received.  Any person who otherwise controlled the
insurer at the time the distributions were declared shall be liable
up to the amount of distributions that would have been received if
they had been paid immediately.  If two or more persons are liable
with respect to the same distributions, they shall be jointly and
severally liable.
D.  The maximum amount recoverable under this section shall be
the amount needed in excess of all other available assets of the
impaired or insolvent insurer to pay the contractual obligations of
the impaired or insolvent insurer and to reimburse any guaranty
funds.
E.  To the extent that any person liable under subsection C of
this section is insolvent or otherwise fails to pay claims due from
it, its parent corporation or holding company or person who
otherwise controlled it at the time the distribution was paid shall
be jointly and severally liable for any resulting deficiency in the
amount recovered from the parent corporation or holding company or
person who otherwise controlled it.
