N.M. Stat. § 59A-10-16
Withdrawal of assets.
A. The trust agreement of such an alien insurer shall provide in substance that no
withdrawal of trusteed assets shall be made by the insurer or permitted by the trustee
without written authorization or approval of the superintendent in advance thereof,
except as follows:
(1)
any or all income, earnings, dividends or interest accumulations of the
trusteed assets may be paid over to the insurer's United States manager upon the
insurer's written request; or
(2)
for substitution, coincidentally with such withdrawal, of other eligible
assets of value at least equal to that of assets being withdrawn, if the withdrawal is
requested in writing by the insurer's United States manager under general or specific
written authority from the insurer's board of directors or other similar governing body
and a certified copy of such authority is filed with the trustee; or
(3)
for the purpose of making deposits required by law in any state in which
the insurer is or thereafter becomes an authorized insurer, for protection of its
policyholders or policyholders and creditors in such state or in the United States, if such
withdrawal does not reduce the insurer's deposit in this state below the minimum
deposit required under Section 87 [59A-5-20 NMSA 1978] of the Insurance Code. The
trustee shall transfer any assets so withdrawn and in amount so required to be
deposited in the other state directly to the depository required to receive the deposit in
the other state, as certified in writing by the public officer having supervision of
insurance in that state; or
(4)
for the purpose of transferring the trusteed assets to an official
conservator, rehabilitator or liquidator under order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
B. The superintendent shall so authorize or approve withdrawal of only such assets
as are in excess of the amount required to be held in trust under Section 87 of the
Insurance Code, or as may otherwise be consistent with the provisions of Sections 171
through 179 [59A-10-11 to 59A-10-19 NMSA 1978] of this article.
C. If the insurer is no longer authorized to transact insurance under certificate of
authority in any state, upon proof satisfactory to the superintendent that all of the
insurer's liabilities arising out of its insurance transactions in the United States have
been assumed by another insurer in such manner as to provide reasonable protection
with respect thereto to the United States policyholders or policyholders and creditors of
the withdrawing insurer, or such liabilities have otherwise terminated as to the
withdrawing insurer, the superintendent shall authorize release of, and the trustee shall
release, the trusteed assets to the withdrawing insurer or its successor in interest, or so
much of such trusteed assets as the superintendent finds no longer reasonably required
for protection of such policyholders or policyholders and creditors.
D. If the insurer becomes insolvent, or if its assets held in the United States are less
than the sum of its liabilities in the United States arising from its insurance transactions
therein and the amount of the required deposit, upon determination thereof the
superintendent shall in writing order the trustee to suspend the right of the insurer or
any other person to withdraw assets as authorized under Paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) of
Subsection A of this section, and the trustee shall comply with such order until the
superintendent's further order.
