SECTION 11420-11422
11420. Any domestic insurer providing life insurance upon the assessment plan may transform itself into an incorporated life insurer issuing policies on a reserve basis with such name as its directors or trustees determine. If incorporated, such insurer may make the transformation by amendment of its articles and by-laws, either by a majority vote of its directors or trustees or in any other lawful manner. If unincorporated it may make the transformation by incorporating. 11421. After completing such transformation and procuring from the commissioner a certificate of authority to transact business in this State as an incorporated insurer issuing policies on a reserve basis, it may incur the obligations and enjoy the benefits of such insurer. 11422. The transformed insurer is a continuation of the original insurer. Its officers elected before or during the transformation serve through their respective terms as provided in the articles and by-laws under which they were elected. Their successors shall be elected and serve as the law and its articles and by-laws provide after the transformation. Such transformation shall not affect existing suits, rights or contracts.
