NRS 686C.333 - Recovery of distributions made before petition for liquidation or rehabilitation of insurer.


1. If an order for liquidation or rehabilitation of a member insurer domiciled in this state has been entered, the receiver appointed under such order is entitled to recover on behalf of the member insurer, from any affiliate that controlled it, the amount of distributions, other than stock dividends paid by the member insurer on its capital stock, made at any time during the 5 years preceding the petition for liquidation or rehabilitation, subject to the limitations of subsections 2, 3 and 4.
2. No distribution is recoverable if the member insurer shows that when paid the distribution was lawful and reasonable, and that the member insurer did not know and could not reasonably have known that the distribution might adversely affect the ability of the member insurer to fulfill its contractual obligations.
3. Any person who was an affiliate that controlled the member insurer at the time the distributions were paid is liable up to the amount of distributions the person received. Any person who was an affiliate that controlled the member insurer at the time the distributions were declared, is liable up to the amount of distributions the person would have received if they had been paid immediately. If two or more persons are liable with respect to the same distributions, they are jointly and severally liable.
4. The maximum amount recoverable pursuant to this subsection is the amount needed in excess of all other available assets of the impaired or insolvent insurer to pay the contractual obligations of the impaired or insolvent insurer.
5. If any person liable under subsection 3 is insolvent, all its affiliates that controlled it at the time the dividend was paid are jointly and severally liable for any resulting deficiency in the amount recovered from the insolvent affiliate.
