1.  Any parent corporation directly or indirectly owning at least 95% of the aggregate issued and outstanding shares of all classes of voting stock of a domestic stock insurance company or any such domestic stock insurance company whose voting stock is so owned may, pursuant to a plan for acquisition of minority interests in such subsidiary, acquire all of its remaining issued and outstanding shares of voting stock, by exchange of stock, other securities, cash, other consideration or any combination thereof.  

2.  The board of directors, trustees or other governing body of the parent corporation or the domestic stock insurance company may adopt a plan for the acquisition of minority interests in such subsidiary insurer. Every plan shall set forth:  

3.  Upon adoption of the plan, it must be duly executed by the president and attested by the secretary, or the executive officers corresponding thereto, under the corporate seal of the parent corporation or the domestic stock insurance company that has adopted the plan, as the case may be. Thereupon, a certified copy of the plan, together with a certificate of its adoption subscribed by such officers and affirmed by them as true under the penalties of perjury and under the seal of the parent corporation or the domestic stock insurance company, as the case may be, must be submitted to the superintendent for the superintendent's approval. The superintendent shall thereupon consider the plan and, if satisfied that it complies with this section, is fair and equitable and not inconsistent with law, the superintendent shall approve the plan. If the superintendent disapproves the plan, notification of the superintendent's disapproval, assigning the reasons therefor, must be given in writing by the superintendent to the parent corporation or domestic stock insurance company that submitted the plan. A plan does not take effect unless the approval of the superintendent has been obtained.  

4.  If the superintendent approves the plan, the parent corporation or the domestic stock insurance company that has adopted the plan shall deliver to each person who, as of the date of delivery, is a holder of record of stock to be acquired pursuant to the plan, a copy of the plan, or a summary thereof approved by the superintendent, in person or by depositing the same in the post office, postage prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at the stockholder's address of record. On or before the date of acquisition proposed in the plan, the parent corporation or the domestic stock insurance company that has adopted the plan shall file with the superintendent a certificate, executed by its president and attested by its secretary, or the executive officers corresponding thereto, and subscribed by such officers and affirmed by them as true under the penalties of perjury, and under the seal of the parent corporation or the domestic stock insurance company, as the case may be, attesting to compliance with this subsection.  

5.  Upon compliance with this section, ownership of the shares to be acquired pursuant to the plan vests in the parent corporation or the domestic stock insurance company that has adopted the plan on the date of acquisition proposed in the plan whether or not the certificates for such shares have been surrendered for exchange. If the plan was adopted by the parent corporation it is entitled to have new certificates registered in its name. If the plan was adopted by the domestic stock insurance company the shares must be retired and the capital of the domestic company reduced by the par value of the retired shares. Shareholders whose shares have been so acquired thereafter retain only the right either to receive the consideration to be paid in exchange for their shares pursuant to the plan or to dissent to the plan and demand appraisal and receive payment of the fair value of their shares as hereinafter provided. The fair value of shares must be determined as of the day prior to the date on which the plan was adopted, excluding any appreciation or depreciation of shares in anticipation of such corporate action. A shareholder may not dissent as to less than all of the shares registered in the shareholder's name.  

6.  A dissenting shareholder shall file, within 20 days after the delivery to that shareholder of either a copy of the plan or a summary of the plan pursuant to subsection 4, a written notice of the shareholder's election to dissent from the plan and a demand for payment of the fair value of the shareholder's shares. The notice and demand must be filed with the company that adopted the plan by personally delivering it, or by mailing it via certified or registered mail, to the company at its registered office within this State or to its principal place of business as shown on its most recent annual report or, in the case of a foreign corporation that has not yet delivered an annual report, in its application for a certificate of authority pursuant to Title 13‑C, section 130.  

7.  At the time of filing the dissenting shareholder's notice and demand for the payment of the fair value of the dissenting shareholder's shares, or within 20 days thereafter, a dissenting shareholder shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing the dissenting shareholder's shares to the company that adopted the plan.  

8.  Within 10 days after the expiration of the period provided in subsection 6 for the shareholder to file the shareholder's notice and demand, the company that adopted the plan shall make a written offer to each dissenting shareholder to pay for such shares at a specified price considered by such company to be the fair value thereof. Such offer must be made at the same price per share to all dissenting shareholders of the same class. The notice and offer must be accompanied by a balance sheet of the corporation, the shares of which the dissenting shareholder holds, as of the latest available date and not more than 12 months prior to the making of such offer and a profit and loss statement of such corporation, for the 12-months' period ended on the date of such balance sheet.  

9.  If, within 20 days after the date by which the company is required by the terms of subsection 8 to make a written offer to each dissenting shareholder to pay for the dissenting shareholder's shares, the fair value of such shares is agreed upon between any dissenting shareholder and the company, payment therefor must be made within 90 days after the date of delivery of the plan or a summary thereof as provided in subsection 4. Upon payment of the agreed value, the dissenting shareholder ceases to have any interest in such shares.  

10.  If, within the additional 20-day period prescribed by subsection 9, one or more dissenting shareholders and the company have failed to agree as to the fair value of the shares, then Title 13‑C, chapter 13, subchapter 3 applies, except that:  

11. 

12.  If the court determines pursuant to Title 13‑C, chapter 13, subchapter 3 that a shareholder is not entitled to receive payment of the fair value of the shareholder's shares because of the shareholder's failure to satisfy the requirements of Title 13‑C, chapter 13, subchapter 3 and of this section, then the shareholder must receive the consideration that was specified as payment in exchange for the shareholder's shares pursuant to the plan. Such payment may not include the allowance for interest specified in Title 13‑C, section 1331, subsection 5.  

13.  Neither the right granted by this section nor the exercise thereof by a parent corporation or domestic stock insurance company shall preclude the exercise by it of any other rights it may have under this section.  

14.  The provisions of Title 33, chapter 45 apply to any unclaimed payment to which a shareholder may be entitled under this section.  

15.  All laws and parts of laws of this State inconsistent with this section are superseded with respect to matters covered by this section.
