(1) PLAN OF DISSOLUTION. Subject to this section, ss. 181.1401 to 181.1407 apply to mutual holding companies. (2) APPROVAL BY THE COMMISSIONER. (a) At least 60 days prior to the submission to members of any proposed voluntary dissolution of a mutual holding company under s. 181.1401, the plan shall be filed with the commissioner. The commissioner may require the submission of additional information relevant to the effect of the proposed dissolution on the solvency of the converted insurance company. The commissioner shall approve the dissolution unless, after a hearing, the commissioner finds that dissolution of the mutual holding company would cause the converted insurance company to become insolvent, would be unfair or inequitable to the members of the mutual holding company or would not be in the best interests of the policyholders of the converted insurance company or the public. (b) The acquisition of the converted insurance company and any other insurance company owned directly or indirectly by a dissolving mutual holding company shall be subject to ss. 611.71 and 611.72 and ch. 617. (3) REVOCATION OF VOLUNTARY DISSOLUTION. If the mutual holding company revokes the voluntary dissolution proceedings under s. 181.1404, a copy of the resolution revoking the voluntary dissolution proceedings adopted under s. 181.1404 shall be filed with the commissioner. (4) FILING AND RECORDING ARTICLES OF DISSOLUTION AND EFFECT THEREOF. Upon approval by the commissioner under sub. (2) and by the members under s. 181.1401, the mutual holding company shall file articles of dissolution with the commissioner. When the articles are filed, the existence of the mutual holding company shall cease, except for the purpose of suits, other proceedings and appropriate corporate action of members, directors and officers as provided in this chapter and in ss. 181.1401 to 181.1407. Upon the filing of the articles, the commissioner may issue a certificate of dissolution. (5) DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS. No distribution may be made to members of a mutual holding company in excess of the amounts to which they would be entitled under s. 645.72 (4) (b) had the converted insurance company not reorganized and formed a mutual holding company. Any excess over such amounts shall be paid into the state treasury to the credit of the common school fund.
