Should the sum of the impaired paid-in capital and minimum surplus be equal to or in excess of the minimum amount of the original paid-in capital and minimum surplus, as required in La. Rev. Stat. 22:81, the commissioner of insurance, in lieu of demanding that the impairment be made good, may permit the reduction of the capital in the sum of the impairment.  In that event, it shall be the duty of the board of directors to call in the old certificates of stock and issue new certificates of stock and issue new certificates for the number of shares which each stockholder is entitled to in the proportion that the reduced capital bears to the original capital.
