36 OK Stat § 36-1215 (2016) What's This?

As used in this act, the following words, terms and phrases shall have the respective meanings hereinafter set forth, unless the context shall otherwise require:

1. A "coupon policy" is any policy or contract of life insurance, other than annuity, which contains, in addition to basic life insurance benefits, annual endowment benefits evidenced in the policy contract by coupons which mature as annual endowment benefits. For the purposes of this act, policies containing annual endowment benefits evidenced by coupons, passbooks or other devices generally identified with savings, banking or investment institutions shall be considered to be coupon policies;

2. A "profit-sharing policy" is that form of life insurance policy or annuity contract which contains provisions representing or tending to create the understanding that the policyholder will be eligible to participate in any future distribution of general corporate profits, with special advantage not available to persons holding other types of policies issued by the insurer to individuals of the same class and equal expectation of life; and

3. A "charter policy" or "founders policy" is that form of life insurance policy or annuity contract, usually issued by a newly- organized insurer, which is sold on the basis that its availability will be limited to a specific predetermined number of units of a fixed dollar amount and which generally provides that the policyholder shall participate in the earnings resulting from either the participating policies or the nonparticipating policies sold by the insurer, or both.
