KRS 304.27-270: Merger or conversion.

(1) A domestic reciprocal insurer upon affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds (2/3)

of its subscribers who vote on such merger pursuant to due notice and the approval

of the commissioner of the terms therefor, may merge with another reciprocal

insurer or be converted to a stock or mutual insurer.

(2) Such a stock or mutual insurer shall be subject to the same capital or surplus

requirements and shall have the same rights as a like domestic insurer transacting

like kinds of insurance.

(3) The commissioner shall not approve any plan for such merger or conversion which

is inequitable to subscribers, or which, if for conversion to a stock insurer, does not

give each subscriber preferential right to acquire stock of the proposed insurer

proportionate to his or her interest in the reciprocal insurer as determined in

accordance with KRS 304.27 -260 and a reasonable length of time within which to

exercise such right.
