§ 81-27-8.113. Declaration of dividends; order of preference in distribution

At any time after the expiration of the date fixed by the commissioner, or the duly appointed agent, for the presentation of claims against the state trust company, and from time-to-time thereafter, the commissioner, out of the funds in the hands of the commissioner, after the payment of expenses and priorities, may declare and pay dividends to the shareholders or participants and other creditors of such state trust company in the order now or hereafter provided by law; and a dividend may be declared when and as often as the funds on hand subject to the payment of dividends shall be sufficient to pay ten percent (10%) of all claims entitled to share in such dividends. In paying dividends and calculating the same, all disputed claims shall be taken into account, but no dividend shall be paid upon such disputed claims until the same shall have been finally determined. The following shall be the order and preference in the distribution of the assets of any state trust company liquidated hereunder:
The word "asset" used herein shall not be deemed to include bailments or other property to which the state trust company has no title. A statement of all dividends paid shall be filed in the office of the chancery clerk in the pending action, and such statements shall show the expenses deducted and the disputed claims in determining the dividend.
