Illinois § 169.1

§ 169.1.

Effect of exchange under plan of exchange. (1) Upon a plan of exchange becoming effective, the exchange provided for therein is considered to have been consummated and each shareholder of the domestic stock insurance company acquired ceases to be a shareholder of such company. The ownership of all shares of the issued and outstanding stock of such company, except shares payment of the value of which is required to be made by such company under Section 167, vests in the acquiring corporation automatically without any physical transfer or deposit of certificates representing such shares. All shares payment of the value of which is required to be made by such company under Section 167 are considered no longer outstanding shares of such company. The acquiring corporation thereupon becomes the sole shareholder of such domestic stock insurance company and has all the rights, privileges, immunities and powers and, except as otherwise provided herein, is subject to all of the duties and liabilities to the extent provided by law of a shareholder of an insurance company organized under the laws of this State. (2) Certificates representing shares of the domestic insurance company to be acquired prior to the plan of exchange becoming effective, except certificates representing shares payment of the value of which is required under Section 167, shall after the plan of exchange becomes effective, represent (a) shares of the issued and outstanding capital stock or other securities issued by the acquiring corporations and (b) the right, if any, to receive cash or other consideration upon such terms as are specified in the plan of exchange. However, the plan of exchange may specify that all such certificates shall after the plan of exchange becomes effective represent only the right to receive shares of stock or other securities issued by the acquiring corporation, or cash or other consideration or any combination thereof upon such terms as are specified in the plan of exchange.
