California Insurance Code Section 1047

CA Ins Code § 1047 (2017)  

Said mutualization plan may include provisions:

(a) Imposing a moratorium against the provisions of the life insurance policies issued by such insurer and then in force calling for the making of loans on the security of such policies and for the payment of money upon the surrender of such policies, for a period and to an extent to be named in such provisions imposing such moratorium, and subject to extension, change or prior termination only upon the written approval of the commissioner.

(b) Imposing liens upon, or otherwise adjusting, the policies of the insurer so as to create or make available the minimum paid-in capital required of such an insurer to be admitted and such additional paid-in capital as will be reasonably sufficient to enable such insurer to carry on its business.

No lien or adjustment of such insurer’s policies shall be made or imposed which has the effect of creating or making available for distribution to the shareholders of such insurer assets otherwise unavailable therefor.

(c) Regulating and adjusting the respective rights of holders of policies of different classes to participate in the profits or savings which may be made by such insurer when mutualized.

(d) Regulating the manner in which and the time at which the shareholders of such insurer shall be compensated for their proprietary interest, then existing, in the assets of such insurer other than goodwill.

(e) Regulating the manner in which the shareholders of such insurer shall be compensated for their proprietary interest in the goodwill, if then existing, of such insurer; provided, however, that no shareholder shall be compensated for his proprietary interest in such goodwill while any moratorium imposed under subdivision (a) of this section is in effect, nor while any lien imposed under subdivision (b) of this section exists, nor until all other indebtedness of such insurer existing at the time of mutualization has been fully paid and discharged or full provision made for its payment, nor otherwise than out of surplus earnings.

(f) Regulating such other matters as may, in the opinion of the commissioner, require regulation in the interest of expediency or otherwise.
