20-735. Distribution of assets of mutual insurer on liquidation
A. On any liquidation of a domestic mutual insurer, its assets remaining after discharge of its indebtedness, policy obligations, repayment of contributed or borrowed surplus, if any, and expenses of administration, shall be distributed to existing persons who were its members at any time within thirty-six months next preceding the date the liquidation was authorized or ordered, or the date of last termination of the insurer's certificate of authority, whichever date is the earliest.
B. The distributive share of each such member shall be in the proportion that the aggregate premiums earned by the insurer on the policies of the member during the combined periods of the member's membership bear to the aggregate of all premiums so earned on the policies of all such members. The insurer may, and if the insurer is a life insurer shall, make a reasonable classification of its policies so held by such members and a formula based on such classification for determining the equitable distributive share of each such member. Such classification and formula shall be subject to the approval of the director of the department of insurance and financial institutions.
