§ 66A.38 — Voting Rights

Plain-Language Summary

In a stock and mutual life insurance company, each stockholder gets one vote per share, and each participating policyholder gets the same voting rights as a member of a mutual company. The certificate of incorporation can change these voting rules.

Practical Notes
The balance of voting power between stockholders and policyholders is a key governance feature of stock and mutual companies. Changes to voting rights require amendments to the certificate of incorporation.
