Statute Text
to 734.890. Assets attributable to covered policies, as used in this
subsection, is that proportion of the assets which the reserves that should
have been established for such policies bear to the reserves that should have
been established for all policies of insurance written by the impaired or
insolvent insurer.
(4) As a creditor
of the impaired or insolvent insurer as established in subsection (3) of this
section and consistent with the provisions of ORS 731.648, the association and
other similar associations shall be entitled to receive a disbursement of assets
out of the marshaled assets, from time to time as the assets become available
to reimburse it, as a credit against the contractual obligations of the
association as set forth in ORS 734.810. If the liquidator has not, within 120
days of a final determination of insolvency of an insurer by the court, made an
application to the court for the approval of a proposal to disburse assets out
of marshaled assets to guaranty associations having obligations because of the
insolvency, then the association may apply to the court for approval of the
associations own proposal to disburse those assets.
(5)(a) Prior to
the termination of any liquidation, rehabilitation or conservation proceeding,
the court may take into consideration the contributions of the respective
parties, including the association, the shareholders and policyholders of the
insolvent insurer and any other party with a bona fide interest, in making an
equitable distribution of the ownership rights of such insolvent insurer. In
such a determination, consideration shall be given to the welfare of the
policyholders of the continuing or successor insurer.
(b) No
distribution to stockholders, if any, of an impaired or insolvent insurer shall
be made until and unless the total amount of valid claims of the association
for funds expended in carrying out its powers and duties under ORS 734.810 with
respect to such insurer have been fully recovered by the association.
(6)(a) If an
order for liquidation or rehabilitation of an insurer domiciled in this state
has been entered, the receiver appointed under such order shall have a right to
recover on behalf of the insurer, from any affiliate that controlled it, the
amount of distributions, other than stock dividends paid by the insurer on its
capital stock, made at any time during the five years preceding the petition
for liquidation or rehabilitation, subject to the limitations of paragraphs
(b), (c) and (d) of this subsection.
(b) No such
dividend shall be recoverable if the insurer shows that, when paid, the
distribution was lawful and reasonable, and that the insurer did not know and
could not reasonably have known that the distribution might adversely affect
the ability of the insurer to fulfill its contractual obligations.
(c) Any person
who was an affiliate that controlled the insurer at the time the distributions
were paid shall be liable up to the amount of distributions the person
received. Any person who was an affiliate that controlled the insurer at the
time the distributions were declared shall be liable up to the amount of
distributions the person would have received if they had been paid immediately.
If two persons are liable with respect to the same distributions, they shall be
jointly and severally liable.
(d) The maximum
amount recoverable under this subsection shall be the amount needed in excess
of all other available assets of the insolvent insurer to pay the contractual
obligations of the insolvent insurer.
(e) If any person
liable under paragraph (c) of this subsection is insolvent, all its affiliates
that controlled it at the time the dividend was paid shall be jointly and
severally liable for any resulting deficiency in the amount recovered from the
insolvent affiliate. [1975 c.251 §15; 1991 c.811 §7; 2011 c.142 §8]
