A member of a domestic mutual insurer or a subscriber of a domestic reciprocal insurer shall be an eligible member or eligible subscriber if the policy of the member or subscriber is in force as of the record date, which is the date that the board of directors of the domestic mutual insurer or the domestic reciprocal insurer approves the proposed activity or some other date specified as the record date in the statement and approved by the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services.

Any consideration to be received by the eligible members or eligible subscribers shall be described in the statement. The consideration shall be allocated among the eligible members or eligible subscribers in the manner described in ORS 732.612 (6) if the domestic mutual insurer or domestic reciprocal insurer transacts primarily life or health insurance, or both.

The allocation of the consideration among the eligible members or eligible subscribers shall be approved by the director.

If the proposed activity described in the statement is primarily a plan to convert the domestic mutual insurer or domestic reciprocal insurer to a stock insurer, the director may require that the proposed activity be governed by ORS 732.600 to 732.630.
