33-3-436. Mutual member's share of assets on liquidation. (1) Upon 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 must be distributed to existing persons who were its members at any time within 36 months preceding the date that liquidation was authorized or ordered or the date of last termination of the insurer's certificate of authority, whichever date is the earlier.
(2) The distributive share of each member under subsection (1) must be in the proportion that the aggregate premiums earned by the insurer on the policies of the member during the combined periods of membership bear to the aggregate of all premiums earned on the policies of all members. The insurer may, and if the insurer is a life insurer shall, make a reasonable classification of its policies held by members and a formula based upon the classification for determining the equitable distributive share of each member. The classification and formula are subject to the approval of the commissioner.
