§ 185.1.

Effect of Reorganization. When the reorganization has been effected: (a) The articles of reorganization shall be the articles of incorporation of the reorganized company and said company shall continue in existence as, and thereafter be, a company of this State. (b) The reorganized company shall make its reports in accordance with the laws of this State and shall be subject to the exclusive regulation and supervision by the Department of Insurance of this State and shall be subject to regulation and supervision by the Insurance Departments of other states and countries as a foreign or alien company. (c) The reorganized company shall have all of the rights, privileges, immunities and powers and shall be subject to all of the duties and liabilities granted or imposed by this Code (except in the case of a domestic captive insurance company, which shall have all of the rights, privileges, immunities and powers and shall be subject to all of the duties and liabilities granted or imposed by Article VIIC of this Code). (d) The reorganized company shall thereupon and thereafter possess all the rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of a public as well as a private nature, theretofore possessed by the company so reorganized. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the agency appointments, licenses, certificates of authority and rates which are in existence at the time of the reorganization of such reorganized company takes effect shall continue in full force and effect; (ii) all property, real, personal and mixed, and all debts due on whatever account, including subscriptions to shares, assessments payable from members or policyholders, and all other choses in action, and all and every other interest of, or belonging to or due to the company so reorganized, shall be deemed to be transferred to and vested in the reorganized company without further act or deed; and (iii) the title to any real estate or any interest therein theretofore vested in the company so reorganized, shall not revert or be in any way impaired by reason of such reorganization. (e) The reorganized company shall thenceforth be responsible and liable for all the liabilities and obligations of the company so reorganized. Any claim existing, or action or proceeding pending by or against the company so reorganized, may be prosecuted to judgment as if such reorganization had not taken place, or such reorganized company may be substituted in its place. Neither the rights of creditors nor any liens upon the property of the company so reorganized, shall be impaired by such reorganization, but such liens shall be limited to the property upon which they were liens immediately prior to the reorganization, unless otherwise provided in the articles of reorganization.
