Terms Used In Indiana Code 27-1-12.6-9

  • Annuity: A periodic (usually annual) payment of a fixed sum of money for either the life of the recipient or for a fixed number of years. A series of payments under a contract from an insurance company, a trust company, or an individual. Annuity payments are made at regular intervals over a period of more than one full year.
  • Commissioner: means the "insurance commissioner" of this state. See Indiana Code 27-1-2-3
  • Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
  • shareholder: means one who is a holder of record of shares of stock in a corporation, unless the context otherwise requires. See Indiana Code 27-1-2-3
   Sec. 9. The commissioner may disapprove any individual annuity contract or contracts issued for delivery in Indiana which do not provide a cash surrender value in accordance with IC 27-1-12.5 upon cessation of the payment of considerations under the contract, if in his opinion the annuity would otherwise be misleading, deceptive or unfair to the purchaser. This provision does not, however, apply (i) to such contract delivered in connection with a pension, profit-sharing or employee benefit plan funded in whole or in part by employer contributions, (ii) to annuities purchased in connection with the termination or winding up of a pension, profit-sharing, or employee benefit plan, or (iii) to an individual annuity contract issued by a company organized and operated without profit to any private shareholder or individual, exclusively for the purpose of aiding nonproprietary education and scientific institutions, and providing a nationwide pension system featuring full funding and full and immediate vesting of benefits.
