(3) Contracts of bulk reinsurance whereby an insurer operating on other than the stock plan of insurance cedes its business to a stock insurer shall provide for distribution to each policyholder of the ceding company of his or her equity in the surplus funds, if any, of such ceding company as determined under a fair and equitable formula approved by the director.

Annotations: This section does not abrogate the common law duties of corporate directors to policyholders of a mutual insurance company and the approval of a contract of bulk reinsurance by the Director of Insurance does not insulate the directors of the company from liability for violation of their fiduciary duties.
