A domestic company, either by itself or in cooperation with one or more persons, may organize or acquire one or more subsidiaries. The subsidiaries may conduct any kind of business or businesses and their authority to do so shall not be limited by reason of the fact that they are subsidiaries of a domestic company. In addition to investments in common stock, preferred stock, debt obligations and other securities of subsidiaries permitted under all other sections of this Code, a domestic company, other than a company subject to Articles XVIII or XIX, may also:
(a) invest, in common stock, preferred stock, debt
(a) invest, in common stock, preferred stock, debt
obligations, and other securities of one or more subsidiaries, amounts which do not exceed the lesser of 10% of the company’s assets or 50% of the company’s surplus as regards policyholders, but after such investments the company’s surplus as regards policyholders must be reasonable in relation to the company’s outstanding liabilities and adequate to its financial needs. In calculating the amount of such investments, there must be included (i) total net monies or other consideration expended and obligations assumed in the acquisition or formation of a subsidiary, including all organizational expenses and contributions to capital and surplus of the subsidiary whether or not represented by the purchase of capital stock or issuance of other securities, and (ii) all amounts expended in acquiring additional common stock, preferred stock, debt obligations, and other securities, and all contributions to the capital or surplus of a subsidiary subsequent to its acquisition or formation;

(b) invest any amount in common stock, preferred
stock, debt obligations and other securities of one or more direct subsidiaries acting only as a non-operating holding company or engaged or organized exclusively for the ownership and management of assets authorized as investments for the company, provided that each subsidiary agrees to limit its investments in any asset so that such investments will not cause the amount of the total investment of the company to exceed the amount the company could have invested in such asset. For the purpose of this clause, “the total investment of the company” will include (i) any direct investment by the company in an asset and (ii) the company’s proportionate share of any investment in such asset by any subsidiary of the company, which must be calculated by multiplying the amount of the subsidiary’s investment by the percentage of the company’s ownership of such subsidiary;

(c) invest in common stock of one or more insurance
corporation subsidiaries any amount by which the investing company’s capital and surplus exceeds the minimum capital and surplus required of a new company under Section 13 to qualify for a certificate of authority to write the kind or kinds of insurance which the company is authorized to write, if the company is a stock company, and if the company is other than a stock company, the company may invest the amount by which the company’s surplus exceeds the minimum surplus required of a new company under Section 43 or 66 to qualify for a certificate of authority to write the kind or kinds of insurance which the company is authorized to write;
|
(d) with the approval of the Director, invest any
greater amount in common stock, preferred stock, debt obligations, or other securities of one or more subsidiaries, but after such investment the company’s surplus as regards policyholders must be reasonable in relation to the company’s outstanding liabilities and adequate to its financial needs.
