Illinois Code § 170

§ 170.

Transfer of deposits. (1) If the surviving or new company shall be a foreign or alien company and the laws of the state or country under which such surviving or new company is incorporated or organized shall require the maintenance with any official of such State or country of a deposit of the legal reserve on any policies, then the Director is authorized to deliver to the proper custodian of such deposits of such state or country any deposits theretofore made with the Director pertaining to policies of any of the merged or consolidated companies. If the surviving or new company shall be a domestic company into which has been merged or consolidated a foreign or alien company incorporated or organized in a state or country the laws of which require the maintenance with an official of a deposit of the legal reserve on any policies, then the Director is hereby authorized to receive from such official any deposit theretofore made with such official pertaining to the policies of any of the merged or consolidated companies. (2) Any surviving or new company shall, within 60 days after the transfer of such deposit, notify the holder of every policy secured by such transferred deposit, that the transfer has been made. The president or vice-president and secretary or assistant secretary of such company, or the executive officers corresponding thereto, shall within 30 days thereafter, file with the Director an affidavit of the fact that due notice to policyholders, as provided for herein, has been given. If a surviving or new company shall be a foreign or alien company, the Director shall require from such company, before transferring any deposit to any official of the state or country under the laws of which such foreign or alien company is incorporated or organized, a written agreement that notice of such transfer will be given to policyholders and that an affidavit with regard to such notice will be furnished to the Director as in this section provided. (3) In the event any deposit is to be maintained in this State by reason of this section, the amount thereof from time to time for each such policy shall be at least equal to the amount which would be required in the state where such deposit was theretofore maintained under the provisions of the law of such state in effect on the date the merger or consolidation was effected. The deposits so maintained in this State shall consist of securities of the kinds authorized for investment by Article VIII of this Code. (Source: Laws 1959, p. 1431.)
