Section 203
Section 203.50 Information
to Be Furnished to Security Holders
a) No solicitation subject to this Part may be made unless each
person is concurrently furnished or has previously been furnished with a
written proxy statement containing the information specified in Exhibit A.
b) If the solicitation is made on behalf of the management of the
company and relates to an annual meeting of security holders at which directors
are to be elected, each proxy statement furnished pursuant to Subsection (a)
must be accompanied or preceded by an annual report (in preliminary or final form)
to the security holders containing such financial statements for the fiscal
year as are referred to in Schedule SIS of the annual statement form as
prescribed by the National Association of Insurance Companies (N.A.I.C.) under
the heading "Financial Reporting to Stockholders". Subject to the
requirements with respect to financial statements, the annual report to
security holders may be in any form deemed suitable by the management which
meets the requirements of law. If there is more than one security holder in a
household, the company may, upon written authorization of all such security
holders in the same household, send only one annual report to the security
holder so designated by those security holders resident in the same household.
c) One copy of each report sent to the security holders under
this Section must be mailed to the Director not later than the date on which
the report is first sent or given to security holders or the date on which
preliminary copies of solicitation material are filed with the Director under
Subsection (a) of Section 203.70, whichever date is later.
d) If no solicitation is being made by management of the company
with respect to any annual or other meeting, the company must mail to every
security holder of record at least 20 days prior to the meeting date, and
information statement as required by Section 203.30, containing the information
called for by all of the Items of Exhibit A, other than Items 1, 3 and 4, which
would be applicable to any matter to be acted upon at the meeting if proxies
were to be solicited in connection with the meeting. If the information
statement relates to an annual meeting at which directors are to be elected, it
must be accompanied by an annual report to the security holders in the form provided
in Subsection (b) of this Subpart.
