Aggregations of individuals as underwriters, whether domestic, foreign, or alien, assuming insurance risks upon the plan known as “Lloyd’s,” whereby each underwriter is liable for the proportionate part assumed by him of the whole amount so insured by a policy issued by such underwriters, may be authorized to transact any kind, or kinds, of insurance in this state other than life or title insurances if the insurer is otherwise in compliance with this title, subject to the following conditions:
(1) If a foreign or alien insurer, it must have successfully been in business as an authorized insurer in the state or country of domicile for at least 10 years.
(2) If a domestic insurer, it must file with the commissioner evidence, satisfactory to him, that it has been soundly organized and that its insurance operations will, at all times, be competently conducted by individuals having the necessary experience in insurance underwriting and management to do so, that at all times it will be comprised of not less than 30 individual “underwriters,” that no such underwriter shall retain risk as to any one subject of insurance in amount exceeding two percent of his total net worth and that the liability of such underwriter, as to any such risk within the extent and amount of coverage provided by the amount of insurance, is unlimited. For the purpose of determining compliance with this provision, the commissioner may at any time require any and all such underwriters to file with him their individual financial statements, duly certified and sworn to under oath, in such form and scope of contents as the commissioner may reasonably require. The assets and insurance transactions of any or all such underwriters shall be subject to examination by the commissioner under the same conditions as apply to domestic insurers in general under Chapter 2 of this title.
(3) Such an insurer shall otherwise be subject to the same applicable requirements and obligations as apply under this title to a stock insurer transacting like kinds of insurance; and for the purposes of this title such an insurer’s deposit made and maintained as required under Section 27-3-11 or subdivision (a)(1) or (a)(2) of Section 27-3-14 shall be deemed to be the minimum capital required to be maintained by such an insurer, but subject to the requirements of Section 27-3-8 as to surplus.
