§ 38a-129a — Presumption of control.

(a) For the purposes of sections 38a-129 to 38a-140, inclusive, control shall be presumed to exist if any person, directly or indirectly, owns, controls, holds with the power to vote, or holds proxies representing, ten per cent or more of the voting securities of any other person. This presumption may be rebutted by a showing that control does not exist in fact. (b) The commissioner may determine, after furnishing all persons in interest notice and opportunity to be heard, that a person, directly or indirectly, alone or pursuant to an oral or a written agreement, arrangement or understanding with one or more other persons, exercises such influence over the management or policies of an insurance company that it is necessary or in the public interest for the protection of such company's policyholders that such person or persons be deemed to control such company. The commissioner shall make specific findings of fact to support the determination that control exists in fact, notwithstanding the absence of a presumption to that effect.
