The plan and agreement by which the transaction is to be effected shall be submitted to the commissioner, who shall examine it and require those provisions to be inserted in the agreement and any actions to be taken in connection with the transaction, including, but not limited to, (a) the terms and conditions of the transaction, (b) any fee, commission, right, option, benefit, or other valuable consideration paid or offered to or for the benefit of any director, officer, employee, subscriber, agent, or broker of each domestic reciprocal insurer or the insurer’s attorney-in-fact in connection with the transaction, (c) the contents of the notice of the vote on the transaction by the subscribers of each domestic reciprocal insurer that is a party thereto, (d) the manner and form of voting thereon by the subscribers of each domestic reciprocal insurer, and (e) any other change, that he or she may deem necessary in order that the transaction may be fair, just, and equitable to the subscribers of each domestic reciprocal insurer that is a party to the transaction, and the transaction is otherwise fair, just, and equitable to the parties to the transaction and their respective policyholders, owners, creditors, and the public. The commissioner shall not approve any transaction if the bylaws, rules, regulations, power of attorney, or instrument affecting the voting or distribution rights of subscribers of a domestic reciprocal insurer have been amended to change those rights within one year prior to the date of filing of the plan and agreement with the commissioner. The subscribers of a domestic reciprocal insurer who shall be eligible to participate in the transaction shall be those persons who are current subscribers of the domestic reciprocal insurer at the date the commissioner approves the plan and agreement for submission to the subscribers for approval pursuant to Section 1553, or at another date determined by the commissioner. No director, officer, agent, or employee of the domestic reciprocal insurer or the insurer’s attorney-in-fact shall receive any fee, commission, or other valuable consideration whatsoever, other than regular salary and compensation, for in any manner aiding, promoting, or assisting in the transaction, except as set forth in the plan and agreement approved by the commissioner. This provision shall not be deemed to prohibit the payment of reasonable fees and compensation to attorneys at law, accountants, and actuaries for services performed in the independent practice of their professions, even though they may also be directors of the insurer.
