An assessment or cooperative life insurance company, including such companies as
are organized under the provisions of KRS Chapter 303 and KRS 304.32-010 to
304.32-270, may be wholly reinsured in, and its assets to the extent required to
establish adequate reserves transferred to, and its liabilities assumed by a mutual or
stock insurer pursuant to an agreement of reinsurance approved by the
commissioner of insurance after such hearing as the commissioner may require, and
approved by two-thirds (2/3) of the members of such company who are present at a
meeting of such members duly called for such purpose, and vote thereon.
Any such reinsurance agreement shall determine the amount of surplus, if any, of
such cooperative or assessment company and shall make adequate provision for
paying to the members of such company their respective shares of such surplus
determined in such manner as may be approved by the commissioner.
If the transfer or reinsurance is approved, every policyholder of the company who
files with its secretary, within ten (10) days after the meeting, written notice of his
preference to be transferred to some other company than that named in the contract,
shall be accorded all the rights and privileges, if any, in aid of the transfer, that
would have been accorded under the terms of the contract had he been transferred to
the company named therein.
No domestic company shall transfer its risks or any part thereof to, or reinsure its
risks or any part thereof in, any insurance company of another state or country that
is not at the time of the transfer or reinsurance authorized to do insurance business
in this state.
